KTM&HC's program series Tavern Culture: One Sip at a Time combines lively programming with food and drink tastings – bringing historic tavern culture to life, all year round.

On August 6th, join us on Zoom as we trace the Revolutionary War-era political meanings embedded in the meals people cooked, the gardens they nurtured, and the tableware they used as part of a vivid portrait of a dynamic society learning to express its ideals through the everyday acts of preparing and eating food.

In Political Appetites: Women as Culinary Activists and the Power of Food in Revolutionary America, art and culinary historian Nancy Siegel uncovers a richly layered story in which meals, ingredients, and even kitchenware helped Americans define what democracy should look—and taste—like. From tea boycotts and homemade Liberty Tea to Washington Pie, Election Cake, and Mammoth Cheese, ordinary foods became vehicles for protest, persuasion, and celebration in the years surrounding the Revolution and the Early Republic.

Tickets for this virtual edition of Taproom Culture are $10/person. KTM&HC members receive a 50% discount - tickets are only $5! Zoom links are included in confirmation emails and will be re-sent to registrants the day before the program.

Tavern Culture: One Sip at a Time series is funded by the Sarah Tod Fund and the Wadsworth R. Lewis Trust Fund.
