Event Details
Held in October & November (Harvest Feast) and March (End of Winter Feast), Carillon Historical Park’s tavern dinner series features an authentic, three-course, hearth-cooked meal and historical entertainment in Newcom Tavern (Est. 1796)—Dayton’s oldest building. Newcom Tavern was also the city’s first jail, church, general store, and Montgomery County’s first courthouse.
With recipes pulled from 19th-century receipt books, guests learn how Daytonians dined in the 1800s. Costumed interpreters bring 19th-century Dayton to life during this unique candlelit dinner.

Your evening will begin at the Kettering Family Education Center, the main entrance to our campus of over 30 museum exhibits. We ask that you park in our main parking lot, nearest the covered portico. There you will be greeted by a costumed guide and enjoy light hors d’oeuvres. Please arrive between 5:45pm and 6:00pm. Prompt arrival ensures that the evening can start on time for all guests.
At 6:00pm, you will be escorted to the William Morris House and Hetzel Summer Kitchen. Here, costumed cooks will welcome you to the 1830s with the interactive discussions and demonstrations of 19th century tasks. After participating in the preparations for the multi-course meal, you will dine by candlelight in Newcom Tavern.
If you would like to enjoy alcoholic beverages with dinner, wine and beer will be available for purchase with a credit card or with cash. Entertainment, dessert, and discussion will follow this authentic supper.
