On Friday, January 10, join historian, author, and Antietam Battlefield guide Steve Stotelmyer as he explores a local South Mountain Civil War mystery, "The Legend of Wise's Well: A South Mountain Mystery."
This talk features the history of Fox's Gap, a gap in South Mountain that witnessed some of the heaviest engagements of the Battle of South Mountain during the Civil War. Is the Legend of Wise's Well simply an urban legend, or is there some truth to it, too?
This month’s cocktail is the Cranberry Pomegranate Bellini, a festive cocktail for the new year made of cranberry and pomegranate juice topped with Prosecco. Doors open at 5:30 PM and light hors d'oeuvres will be served!
