Carpenters Hall is serving up history with a side of scotch whiskey

Carpenters' Hall has rolled out after-hours scotch whiskey-tasting tours, running every Tuesday and Thursday through May 29. These exclusive tours, led by Executive Director Michael Norris, are limited to just 10 participants, allowing for an intimate exploration of the Hall's seldom-seen second floor. Guests will savor three rotating selections of scotch whiskey while immersing themselves in the rich history of this National Historic Landmark, built in 1770. The venue holds significant historical importance, having served as the meeting place for the First Continental Congress and as a hub for prominent figures like Benjamin Franklin. The tasting experience honors the Hall's architect, Robert Smith, who hailed from Scotland, reinforcing the venue's ties to Scottish tradition.

Artifacts displayed include original Windsor chairs and membership boards, providing a tangible connection to the past. Tickets are available for $45 per person, and guests may book either individual tickets or groups through Airbnb.
