Hops & History Speaker Series

Hops & History 2025 Line Up

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.

MAY 17th: Pints with Lincoln

Step back in time for this a one-of-a-kind Hops & History event, offered as part of the MIlton House Museum's Civil War Living History event! 


Join us for a fun, informal evening of conversation with none other than President Abraham Lincoln himself! Discuss the Civil War, politics, and more while sipping on your favorite brew from the taproom.


Tickets are $25 per person. Advanced ticket purchase, either online or at the museum, will get a Civil War themed pint glass to take home. Day of tickets do not include the pint glass. Pint glasses will be available for purchase for an additional cost at the event.
