Are you looking for a cozy and welcoming space for your smaller gathering? Our authentic turn of the century Tavern is available for rental to approved groups and individuals who desire a unique and historic venue, with modern conveniences. 

​There is an additional fee for use of the cage bar, which includes glassware. Please note that all decorations must be free-standing; nothing may be affixed to windows or walls. The renter is responsible for cleaning up afterward. If desired, professional cleaning services can be requested with an additional fee, freeing the renter from most clean-up duties. 

For any special requests or if you have an event in mind that requires partnership with The Tavern, please contact the museum via email or phone 716-433-3247 and leave a message or email us at theforsythtavern@gmail.com
Tavern Nights​
One such option for an event that our space is uniquely suited for are Tavern Nights. This would include an evening with your guests, be them family, friends, coworkers, or clients, for drinks and hor d'oeuvres served by our museum staff. This can be tailored to be as authentic as desired to circa 1808, fitting with the nature of our National Register property. This event can also be paired with an overnight stay in the Tavern for a truly authentic experience.
