Hellertown Historical Society is proud to offer new events focused on the colonial history of our country to the present. With next year’s approaching Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary since declaring our independence from England, we are offering events that correspond to this theme. These events have been renamed “Talks in the Tavern” replacing the original “Speaker Series” name.

Plan to join us for these quaint, friendly, and informative 60-90 minute presentations and interactions with local historians about our country’s historical, social and cultural events in the comfort of our historic 1760’s Tavern in the lower level of the Heller-Wagner Grist Mill from the colonial period to present day. All events will include complimentary light refreshments, some with a traditional colonial theme.

These events are free for HHS members; non-members are welcome to join HHS membership during the events or make a nominal donation to offset speakers’ fees. Reservations are not required, though seating is limited to first come, first served.

This new series premieres August 21 with “Tea, Traditions and Trouble in the Colonies.” See our events listing for more information.

Be sure to visit our Events page often as new events in this series are scheduled and posted.
