Just in time for the weekend, the Old Schoolhouse Lecture Series will take a more fermented approach to history with this Friday’s lecture entitled, “The Booze Brothers or Halfway to Concord: A Brief History of Alcohol in America.” Presented by the Desert Institute and the Twentynine Palms Old Schoolhouse Museum, the boozy lecture will take place on Friday, February 12, at 7 p.m. on your computer, tablet, or phone.
Led by Ellie Greenwood Kordas, a retired associate professor of American Studies and American Indian Studies, the virtual lecture will explore the history of alcohol in the New World, starting with pre-Columbian Mexico, then on to the US Colonies, through the years leading up to Prohibition, and on up to the happy hours of today.
Cost for the program is $5. Attendees can sign up in advance using the link below.
