Ridgefield, Conn.— Taproom Tastings, the popular virtual program series formerly known as Tavern Tastings, is BACK and better than ever! Join Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center (KTM&HC) Chief Curator Catherine Prescott and scholar Mary Tsaltas-Ottomanelli, livestreaming from our historic tavern museum, as they investigate historic food and drink cultures.

Their relaxed, conversational style is an engaging way to get unique and entertaining insights into our culinary histories and learn how food and drink have long been central to building and maintaining community and cultural identity.
