Historical Society of H2otown Oct. Programs

Then on Saturday, October 25 from 4-6 p.m., bring your thirst to the Fowle House. Join the Historical Society of Watertown in a beer tasting party sponsored by Boston Beer, brewers of Samuel Adams Beer. The party in the Fowle House will take place on the site of the meeting place of the Governor’s Council for the first one and a half years of the Revolutionary War. Founding Fathers such as John Hancock, John Adams, and, yes, Samuel Adams, among others, were here!* Donation is $25.00 with proceeds benefitting The Historical Society of Watertown. The brewmeister will bring at least 5 different beers to sample. Space is limited so please contact Joyce at 781-899-7239 or e-mail Pam at p.pinsky@verizon.net to reserve your place. What better way to spend a pleasant October evening than learning about beer and about the important history of Watertown and the Edmund Fowle House!

(IDs will be checked so please bring a photo ID.)

*For history buffs: during the British occupation of Boston, the seat of government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony was in Watertown.
