It's a special evening for those who love cocktails and love history! Join local historians and authors Diane Lapis and Anne Peck-Davis as they share fascinating historical vignettes and vintage postcards of lounges, hotel bars and other exotic drinking venues from the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Sample two classic cocktails and enjoy a light assortment of finger foods and charcuterie at the historic Mesier Homestead. A non-alcoholic beverage will be available for those who do not imbibe but who still enjoy the distinct glamour of the cocktail scene of that era.
All attendees will receive 10% off their purchase at the Mesier Homestead gift shop that evening.
