• How many know the history of their favorite adult beverage drinks? Those who are interested can get at least some information on Tuesday, Dec. 7 when the Chester County History Center holds a one-hour Zoom session Gilded Age Cocktails: History, Lore, and Recipes from America's Golden Age. The decades following the American Civil War burst with invention―they saw the dawn of the telephone, the motor car, electric lights, the airplane ― but no innovation was more welcome than the beverage heralded as the “cocktail.” This is a pay-as-you-wish event, running from 7-8 p.m. Reserve a spot here.
