"Talks in the Tavern" Series

Hellertown Historical Society is proud to offer events and experiences focused on the colonial history of our country. With the approaching Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary since declaring our independence from England, we are offering events that correspond to this theme. The “Talks in the Tavern” series will continue again in 2026 with all new subject matter. Plan to join us for these quaint, friendly, and informative presentations and interactions with local, living 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. Be sure to visit this page often as new events in this series are scheduled and posted.
