Colonial Drinking Songs and Toasts

Next date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 | 07:00 PM to 08:00 PM

Historical entertainers Anne and Ridley Enslow in colonial dress inside a colonial home or tavern, sharing a toast.

Anne and Ridley Enslow present a rousing concert of colonial drinking songs. There will be plenty of toasts and entertaining tales. Learn about the role of rum in the American Revolution, the origins of our national anthem’s melody, the Battle of the Kegs (a real event!), and enjoy witticisms from Ben Franklin. There’s even a toast or two to King George III (feel free to boo). “Raise a glass to freedom” and join us in singing to the tune of revolution!

No registration required; however, seating is first-come, first-seated.
