GADSBY’S TAVERN MUSEUM
134 NORTH ROYAL STREET, ALEXANDRIA, VA
Program.  Most of us were not brought up to the standards of British gentility, much less to the standards that prevailed in the 18th century.  As
a result we do not move, speak, perceive or behave as they did – not without special training.  That is what the Gentry Workshop – the
signature training program of the Living History Foundation - is all about.  Learn the basics of what you need to create a credible impression.   
This is 101.  There will be three more.  Learn answers to the questions: as a gentleman or lady of Georgian England or British America …
What is my social background?
 Georgian social structure
How should I move?
 Deportment
How should I sound?
 Vocabulary, sentence structure and accent
How should I behave towards others?
 Politesse
What should I wear?
 Gentry attire – formal and day
How would I dine?
 Table manners, utensils and glassware
What would I do for fun?
 Balls and other entertainments
Presenters include Janice Ryan of Recollections of JP Ryan, internationally known expert on 18th c. clothing.
