Have a little history with your lunch! History à la Carte is monthly a series of 45-minute talks about a variety of topics—come learn about the Lost Colony, bitters and cocktails, World War I, North Carolina pottery, and famous (and infamous) North Carolinians, just to name a few! Our speakers run the gambit, they are often business owners, nonprofit directors, museum curators, or professors, and provide exciting perspectives to their talk. Join us in the Longleaf Classroom (North Carolina Museum of History) at noon every second Wednesday of the month.
Bring your lunch (or purchase a boxed lunch under “Get Tickets”); we’ve got the drinks!
THIS MONTH
Craig Rudewicz, owner of Crude Bitters and Sodas, will trace the history of bitters from a crude medicinal origin to a critical cocktail ingredient. He will also talk about shrubs, a colonial soda made from fruit preserved in sugar and vinegar. Some samples will be on hand to sip and smell.
