In early America, few things brought people together like a bowl of punch.
In the taverns, public houses, and dining rooms of historic Charleston, the punch bowl was the center of social life: a vessel for celebration, debate, and the kinds of conversations that changed the course of history.
Join us for a lecture and special tasting as we explore the social history of punch and rum in our nation’s early years. We’ll try some historic punch recipes like those enjoyed at Drayton Hall in the past, and punch bowls and other artifacts excavated from Drayton Hall offer rare material connections to the people who used them.
Tastings included. Space is limited.
Join us on April 10 from 3:30 – 5:00pm as we explore punch in Colonial America with a lecture and special tasting. This event is at 328 East Bay Street in Downtown Charleston
