From smoke filled back rooms to tweets in action, don’t miss our next Drinking History Event: Stuffing the Ballot Box!

Join us November 19th @ 7 PM for another virtual Drinking History Event to talk famous elections that changed the political landscape of Rensselaer County!

Politics has been a blood sport in the county for 229 years.  We will share some of our more interesting political memorabilia and objects from the permanent collection. Hear the story about stuffing the ballot box that got Bat Shea shot or when we switched from strong mayor to city manager back to strong mayor in Troy.

As always, there will be raffle prizes and guest bartenders will create their favorite election night drink.
