Bars of Bethlehem Tour
Saturday, May 28
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere! In colonial times, alcohol was believed to help the sick, enliven the elderly, and strengthen the weak. For many colonists, a morning tankard of hard cider, or a lunchtime draught of ale soothed the stomach and helped get people through the day.
Join us for a walking tour that will explore Bethlehem’s drinking history! Locations will include the 1810 Goundie House, the Single Brethren’s House, and Tapas on Main Street.
Meet the Artist
Glass is one of the most versatile materials on the planet. We use it to see, dress, and build our homes. We also use it in art, where it is used to stir the imagination and convey thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
Thursdays, join us for a series of Meet the Artist events! At this event, one of our featured glass artists will be at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts to talk about their artistic process and answer questions.
Build-a-Beer
Thursday, June 9
Join us for a special “Build-a-Beer” event at the 1810 Goundie House! Led by Dr. Lloyd Ackert of Drexel University, this program will see guests customize their own beers with select ingredients like malts, hops, and spices. Afterward, put your nose to the test by using your olfactory powers to figure out what other people added to their beers! The winning recipe (based on a poll) will be specially brewed by Ackert, an experienced home brewer.
