     Tun Tavern was a tavern and brewery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which served as a founding or early meeting place for a number of notable groups. Tun Tavern was named for  the Old English word "tun", meaning a barrel or keg of beer. It is traditionally regarded as the site where what would become the United States Marine Corps held its first recruitment drive during the American Revolution. On November 10, 1775, the First Continental Congress commissioned Samuel Nicholas, a Quaker innkeeper, to raise two battalions of Marines in Philadelphia. The tavern’s manager, Robert Mullan, was the "chief Marine Recruiter." Prospective volunteers flocked to the place, enticed by the opportunity to join the new Corps. The first Continental Marine Company was composed of one hundred Rhode Islanders commanded by Captain Nicholas. Each year on November 10, U.S. Marines worldwide toast the memory of this Colonial Inn.
     It is also regarded as one of the "birthplaces of Masonic teachings in America".
