About this Event
The popular drink of the colonies was wine made from honey, probably the most ancient of all liquors in the world dating back thousands of years. Explore the history and differences between mead and metheglin, learn about its colonial history in Hunterdon County. Our speaker, Hunterdon 300th Chair Marcia Karrow, will discuss how it was made in Colonial America vs. modern times. She will be bringing metheglin made from Hunterdon County honey. There may be even a sip or two to sample the differences between the two drinks. Of course, you must be over 21 to sip! Savory refreshments will accompany the tastings.And f that isn't enough fun, we've opened up the storage closet for our annual Holiday Sale and found a limited number of treasures including our sunflower bowl, wine glasses, Hunterdon County desk flags and more cool stuff offered back in 2014.
