A beautiful new Alaskan yellow adorning the historic Rising Sun Tavern Museum.
"Built by George Washington’s youngest brother, Charles, around 1760 as his home, this frame building became a tavern in 1792 and was operated as a stopover for travelers in the bustling port town of Fredericksburg. Museum is open daily for guided tours."
🔨The Rising Sun Tavern has recently undergone a remarkable renovation, featuring the installation of new shake shingles! Special thanks to the dedicated team at Wagner Roofing Company for their hard work and exceptional craftmanship.
NOTE: The new shakes are made of Alaskan yellow cedar and within a few months to a year, with sun and rain exposure, they will transition to a soft silvery-gray patina.
