Title A name given to the resource Virginia Gazette: With the Latest Advices, Foreign and Domestick- May 7th, 1767 Subject The topic of the resource Tavern Culpeper Land sale Description An account of the resource Roger Dixon put an ad in the Virginia Gazette advertising 3000 acres of land in Albemale, 1500 acres in Culpeper on the Hedgemann river, and his tavern in at Culpeper courthouse in Fairfax town. He describes it as large and commodious, “with convenient out-houses, stable, garden, and all proper improvements.” He claims it vends “500 pounds worth of liquors original cost in a year” and that “any person inclinable to purchase either of the above tracts of land, or tavern” will find “them a good bargain.” He prices his tavern at 500£, and the year’s rent as worth 60£. This ad indicates what a tavern might sell for in the 1760s, and what would constitute as a “worthy” rent and profit for a tavern. It could be contrasted with other taverns being sold at the time, or other rent rates being offered by taverns in the area. It could also indicate what was expected from a tavern, since he mentions “outhouses,” a stable, a garden, and “improvements.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Roger Dixon Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Virginia Gazette Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 7, May, 1767 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Kira Stalker
