Coffee Hour with CMCH: Taverns in Early Connecticut

July 17, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

We’re sorry, all spaces have been claimed! Our virtual coffee hours have been really popular! Program topics that fill up will be repeated later in the spring or summer.

In the 1700 and early 1800s, taverns were vital to commerce and social life in Connecticut. What was it like to visit one? What did people eat and drink there? What games did they play? Join us to find out….and come away with a couple of recipes for authentic tavern-style drinks!

This program is free and spaces are limited. To secure a spot, register with Yapsody. You’ll receive an email confirmation.  At noon of the day of the program, you’ll get a reminder email from CMCH with the link to the Zoom meeting. Please do not share that link with anyone! It’s unique to you.

If you would like to make a donation to help the CMCH keep history alive through this difficult time, please click here. Or, to learn about the benefits of museum membership, click here!
