Hops & History Speaker Series

Toast local history and craft beer in our Hops & History Speaker Series, brought to you by the Milton House Museum and GoodWorks Brewing Company. 

This unique series, held monthly, pairs engaging historical discussions with locally brewed beer for an unforgettable evening of learning, conversation, and community.

Each event features a different historical topic, presented by expert speakers, followed by a Q&A session where you can enjoy a cold GoodWorks brew while diving deeper into the stories and events that shaped our past. 

Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a fun way to learn more about the area's rich heritage, this series offers something for everyone.

Join us for an engaging and insightful illustrated program led by Doug Dammann, Curator of the Kenosha Civil War Museum. In this presentation, Doug will bring history to life through the museum's vast collection of Civil War artifacts. These objects offer a window into the lives of soldiers, civilians, and the communities of the Upper Midwest during this pivotal time in American history. 

Doug will share the fascinating stories behind these items, highlighting the critical role that Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest played during the Civil War.
