The 18th Century Coffee House on 10/7/18

The number of Americans drinking a daily cup of coffee is at the highest level since 2012!  But did you know that our demand for coffee was just as strong in the 18^th century?  By the mid-1700s, the coffeehouse was an institution in the colonies that attracted all levels of society.  On October 7, 2:00 to 4:00, the museum will present a program about this popular beverage and the “coffee-house taverns” that served not only as social gathering places, but also meeting places for political discussion and talk of revolution!  Tours  and demonstrations of open-hearth cooking using early American recipes and ingredients are also included.   Admission is $4 ages 13 and older; $3 ages 3-12 and free age 2 and younger. No reservations are necessary.
