Your host Harriet S. is planning an enjoyable afternoon on Sunday 10/6. First, we’re having an interesting presentation followed by a late afternoon meal at a local winery.
Are you into the history of colonial times? Then attend an interesting presentation: Inside the Public House: Colonial Taverns of Early America, by Joella Clamen, the historic interpreter at Indian King Tavern Museum.
Joella will present an illustrated talk on colonial taverns as they became key hubs of information, socialization, and libations in the 18th century.
The Peachfield presentation has limited seating available: only 20 seats left. To secure your seat at the presentation, immediately send a check or $15 payable to The Friends of Peachfield to:
Friends of Peachfield
Attn: Caroline Halfinger
180 Burrs Road
Westampton NJ 08060
Be sure to include your telephone number and email address. Caroline will acknowledge receipt of your check by phone or email.
After sending your check, contact Harriet to verify you are coming and if you plan to attend the meal afterwards at Stokelan. If so, she will include you in our reservations at Stokelan Winery.
The presentation will be conducted at Peachfield, a historic mansion located in Westampton. The mansion was built in 1725 by Henry Burr and was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its significance in architecture.
Then off to nearby Medford, only a 15-to-20-minute drive, to enjoy a delightful meal in a unique and quaint setting at the Stokelan Estate Winery. Stokelan is a family-owned winery framed in an authentic colonial mansion built in 1853. Weather permitting, we could dine outside in a beautiful setting, or dine inside in a nostalgic, historic setting.
Although Stokelan is a winery, they also serve soft drinks, iced and hot tea, and coffee.
If you are interested in attending, contact Harriet at hshikes@hotmail.com or call 856-722-7008. You could attend either the presentation or the delicious meal, or both.
