Join curator Candace Perry for an exploration of how the introduction of Lager beer to Philadelphia around 1840 influenced saloon culture and was a major contributing factor to the rise of the temperance movement of the 1800s. Candace will intertwine her research on he great-great grandmother, Miriam Hitchcock Cole, a 19th century suffragette and temperance advocate, with the colorful history of saloons and how they inspired a crusade that would eventually bring about Prohibition in the United States.
