About the event

Drinking History Talk

Our first Drinking History talk for 2026 will be Thursday March 5, at Pendley Creek Brewing Company beginning at 6:30 PM.

North Georgia in the 19th century was an exciting place. Come hear about the people who mined gold, marble, and iron ore as they built railroads and riches. Reinhardt University historian Kenneth H. Wheeler will discuss his book, Modern Cronies, as he describes how a network of people who developed Georgia during this time modeled a path into the future for the Southeastern United States.

Dr. Wheeler is the Vice President for Academic Affairs at Reinhardt University and an expert in Georgia history and southern industrialization.
