Join Dutchess County Historian William P. Tatum III at Foster’s Coach House Restaurant and Tavern for a presentation to explore the hidden history of illegal liquor in northern Dutchess during Prohibition. How was the moonshine made? Who transported it? What were local speakeasies really like? What changed from the pre-Prohibition drinking scene?

The program runs from 6-7 PM and is free to the public. Space is limited, so please RSVP below. We will be gathering in the atmospheric basement dining room for this presentation.

Please call Foster's Coach House directly to make your dinner reservations.

The event will accept and encourage donations to its partner organization, Historic Red Hook.

County Historian William P. Tatum III said, “The Dutchess County Historic Tavern Trail highlights many of our iconic buildings and the history contained in our epic landscape. These programs are a fun way to explore the links between history, cuisine and local culture that make our area such a vibrant place.”

The Dutchess County Historic Tavern Trail brings history and local cuisine together, while introducing the community to iconic locales. The Tavern Trail is a collaborative endeavor between the Dutchess County Department of History, local historical societies, and signature food and beverage industry partners to create an innovative program that highlights the county’s rich history. Each installment of the program is held at a different historic location and includes a brief presentation on an engaging episode of the local past.
