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.
February's event is an encore presentation by Kari Klebba, former Executive Director of the Milton House Museum on the life of Freedom Seeker Andrew Pratt.
Kari will dive into the powerful story of Andrew Pratt, the only Milton House Freedom Seeker known by name. Drawing on her extensive research, she’ll share insights into Andrew's life—his journey through enslavement, his escape via the Underground Railroad, and how he built a lasting legacy through courage and determination.
Please note: This is a similar program to what Kari presented in February 2024.
