The Hanover Tavern in Hanover Courthouse, Virginia and Hanover County, Virginia, is one of the oldest taverns in the United States. The first tavern was licensed at the site beginning in 1733. The present tavern building, restored by the Hanover Tavern Foundation, dates from 1791. In 1953, the tavern became the site of one of Virginia's earliest dinner theaters, the Barksdale Theater.
