- **Event Description**: Historian Brooke Barbier will share how colonial America's heavy drinking culture and taverns fueled the Revolution and shaped a new nation.About this EventEighteenth-century Americans consumed a staggering amount of alcohol compared to us today. Drink influenced their politics, built and sustained their relationships, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society, nor covertly consumed in private spaces—it was integral to American life. When the colonists rebelled against the British Empire, this culture of drink and taverns helped foster revolution.Join historian Brooke Barbier on Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 7 p.m. for a lively ZOOM lecture about the influence of tavern and drinking culture on the American Revolution, particularly in Massachusetts. You’ll hear about the way alcohol influenced colonial resistance, soldiers on both sides of the war, and the creation of a new nation. You'll see famous founders and lesser-known Patriots drink their way from British subjects into Americans.The museum is offering this online talk for free to the public with a suggested donation of $10.

                "description": "The Golden Ball Tavern Museum offers visitors a different perspective on the American Revolution. Our museum, housed in a historic Pre-Revolutionary home and tavern in Weston, Massachusetts, tells the other side of the story – that of the Loyalists during the War of Independence. Notably, the Museum is among only a handful of institutions in the country dedicated to bringing to life the Loyalist experience.The Museum also tells the story of the six generations of the Jones family - Isaac’s direct descendants - who lived here for nearly 200 years up until the 1960s. The original house and tavern (built by Isaac 1765-1768) have been preserved in ways that allow each generation’s stories to come to light by exposing the structural layers of change specific to each time period. More than 70 percent of the items in the Museum’s collections are original to the Jones family. The Museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is entirely self-sustaining.The museum host lectures, tours, craft beer, cider and mead tastings and holds an annual Barn Sale to support our preservation and educational initiatives."
