Banning’s Tavern has been named to remind us of the wonderful history and heritage we have in Easton and Talbot County. Part of the tradition of Banning’s Tavern will be to keep our heritage alive by providing our guests with interesting facts about our area and the people who have lived here.A sea faring man for many years out of the port of Oxford, he rose through the ranks to eventually become a ship’s Master. He had many voyages over most of the Atlantic Ocean and survived capture and imprisonment by pirates in the Caribbean; he was also captured by the French navy off of Spain and later rescued by the English.
