Taproom Tastings
The next installment of Taproom Tastings, Keeler Tavern Museum & History
Center’s popular virtual program, is Tuesday, January 14 at 7:00 p.m. Join KTM&HC Chief
Curator Catherine Prescott and Hendrick I. Lott House Executive Director Mary Tsaltas-
Ottomanelli as they investigate 19 th -century health and wellness.
Catherine and Mary’s relaxed, conversational style is an engaging way to get unique and
entertaining insights into America’s culinary histories and learn how food and drink have long been central to building and maintaining community and cultural identity.
Food has always been connected to the health and wellness of the human body – used as a
medicine, or as an explanation for illness. In the 19th century, there was a boom in health
trends and diet fads associated with food: vegetarianism, avoidance of spices, and water cures, to name a few. Catherine and Mary will explore why that particular moment in history saw such a focus on diet and wellness, and they will do a deeper dive into some of the fads of the age.
The Taproom Tastings virtual series runs monthly through April. Upcoming episode topics
include Asian-American foodways, food in propaganda and politics, and wine. The programs are free for all, with a suggested donation of $10, and registration is required. To register for this month’s episode on January 14, or to register for any of the season’s upcoming episodes, go to www.keelertavernmuseum.org/events.
