History on Tap, back for its fourth year, is a fun and casual evening of beverage tastings, delicious food, live music, and tavern-inspired activities.
Come get a drink at KTM&HC! Our historic site provides a beautiful setting for a night out with friends, family, and colleagues. Sample local beers and liquors from Elicit Brewing Co., Charter Oak Brewing Co., and Litchfield Distillery, with additional vendors announced soon; listen to classic and acoustic rock with Bourbon & Britches; and enjoy delicious gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches from Melt Mobile food truck (gluten-free and vegan options available).
In between samples and sandwiches, explore fun activities across the site. In the Carriage Barn, our interactive exhibition #HandsOnHistory asks you to Please Touch! as you try out historic tools from our collection. Colonial era games - graces, hoop & stick, badminton, ring toss - are available for friendly competition on the front lawn. And, new this year: attendees will get an exclusive chance to tour our historic tavern museum after dark! Discover what it might've been like to visit T. Keeler's Inn on a fall evening in the 1770s: enter the candlelit taproom and listen to KTM&HC's best storytellers recount a playful take on tavern culture.
