Drinking Whiskey with America's Founders at Carpenters' Hall

from City Cast Philly · host City Cast

Old City’s Carpenters’ Hall, the site of the First Continental Congress back in 1774, is considered the “acorn” of American democracy. Today, it’s where host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz throw back a couple of whiskeys in the closed-to-the-public second floor library and learn how stories from the founding of this country are relevant to its present. Every Tuesday and Thursday through May, Carpenters’ Hall stays open late for small group tours and a whiskey tasting on its second floor.  Sign up for a tour & tasting here.  Find out more places to learn about Philly (and drink) in our daily newsletter: Hey Philly Got another historical site for us to check out?
