Introducing "Talks in the Tavern" Series
Hellertown Historical Society is proud to offer new events focused on the colonial history of our country. 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 presentations and interactions with local historians about our country’s colonial past in the comfort of our historic 1760’s Tavern in the lower level of the Heller-Wagner Grist Mill. All of these events will include complimentary light refreshments. The first such event is listed below. Be sure to visit this page often as new events in this series are scheduled and posted.
