Learn how to trace your bartending, saloonkeeping, and tavernkeeping ancestors before Prohibition, plus enjoy a brief whiskey cocktail-making demonstration.
Taverns and saloons have been a crucial American institution, and the men behind the bar were the social rock stars of their era. This program will lead you through the pre-prohibition records and resources, which will help you add an extra shot of flavor into your research. This program also includes a live cocktail creation and drink recommendation session. Presented by Debra Dudek.
