The Taylor-Butler House

On June 3rd, 2017, The Practitioners of Musick were invited to present a program based on the musical world and reign of George III and Queen Charlotte. This presentation was made possible owing to the generous assistance of the Monmouth County Historical Association.

The performance took place at the historic Taylor-Butler House, which is adjacent to Marlpit Hall (built ca. 1756) in Middletown, N.J.  In the images below, note the period portraits of King George III and Queen Charlotte (hanging in the background), both of whom had serious musical accomplishments.  During the period of the Revolutionary War, members of the family living in the house were loyal to the crown.

Several other reenactors were on site for the occasion and they were able to enjoy our musical offerings as well.
