Charlton Coffee House Restoration: Art Museum Exhibit

In 2009 Colonial Williamsburg rebuilt Richard Charlton's coffee house that was torn down in the mid-late 1800s. They had to treat their clues like a crime scene to rebuild the coffee house and find artifacts to match the house set in 1765. I need to read up on the story of a Stamp Act tax collector who was thrown off the porch by an angry mob in 1765. I also need to go there tomorrow and try some of the hot (colonial) chocolate they give out their to visitors.
