POSTPONED: Wellesley Historical Society online talk: Alcohol in Colonial Boston—Violence and Cooperation among Revolutionaries
January 7 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
POSTPONED, Date to be determined
Join the Wellesley Historical Society for Brooke Barbier’s virtual talk, Alcohol in Colonial Boston: Violence and Cooperation among Revolutionaries, on Thursday, January 7, 2021 at 7pm. Tickets are $10 each and all purchases go towards the Society’s operations.
About the Talk:
Bostonians in the eighteenth century drank a lot of alcohol, but did you know that their imbibing influenced the American Revolution? Join historian Brooke Barbier to learn about the role alcohol played in Boston’s resistance and rebellion of the 1760s, 1770s, and 1780s. She’ll be discussing tavern brawls and tarring and feathering, which were often fueled both by anger towards British officials and alcohol. And she’ll talk about the important ways that alcohol also brought colonists together to build a nation. We recommend grabbing your favorite winter beer or cider and drinking alongside colonial Boston’s rowdiest residents.
