Braveheart offers a variety of freshly prepared dishes including appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, sandwiches and Scottish fare with friendly service. Step out for dinner and help us raise much-needed funds for our 2026 Hellertown-Lower Saucon Heritage Day event to keep admission free.

Tavern Room Spring Concert

On Wednesday, April 15^th, Hellertown Historical Society and Lehigh Valley Mandolins are hosting the “Tavern Room Spring Concert”. This is free of charge for Hellertown Historical Society members & their guests. Tickets for the public will be available at the door for $25 per person. However, should you join HHS as a new member, your entry fee is waived. Come join us! The show starts at 7:00 PM with a reception following the performance.

The Reading Mandolin Orchestra will be performing a lively program of Italian and Latin beats. The orchestra is an acoustic group of stringed instruments who follow written scores, some of which date from the mid 1800’s. Many of the pieces performing have evolved from the height of mandolin orchestra’s popularity 100 years ago.

"Talks in the Tavern" Series

Hellertown Historical Society is proud to offer events and experiences focused on the colonial history of our country. With the approaching Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary since declaring our independence from England, we are offering events that correspond to this theme. The “Talks in the Tavern” series will continue again in 2026 with all new subject matter. Plan to join us for these quaint, friendly, and informative presentations and interactions with local, living historians about our country’s colonial past in the comfort of our historic 1760’s Tavern in the lower level of the Heller-Wagner Grist Mill. Be sure to visit this page often as new events in this series are scheduled and posted.
