Andrews Tavern is an historic building located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia.
The county seat remained at Andrews Tavern until it was moved to its present location at Spotsylvania Court House in 1839.
[5][6] Since the construction of the building, it has served a number of purposes including United States Post Office (1842–1862) and, during the American Civil War, Confederate post office (1862–1865).
[4] The location of the tavern, near the intersection of two major roads, made it a central social and political gathering place.
Both the Whigs and the Democrats promoted their parties on election days in the 1840s with parades, banners, and free whiskey for voters.
