Noted Boston historian Anthony Sammarco returns to share the rich and romantic history of the Baker Chocolate Company, paired with a decadent chocolate tasting and a warm hot cocoa bar—perfect for a Valentine’s celebration!
In 1765, fate brought Dr. James Baker and Irish chocolatier John Hannon together along the Neponset River, leading to the founding of America’s oldest and most beloved chocolate company. Their story, filled with ambition, mystery, and even a romantic twist through the famed La Belle Chocolatière campaign, will captivate history buffs and chocolate lovers alike.
Indulge in a delightful chocolate tasting and sip on rich, velvety hot cocoa as you enjoy the evening!
Anthony Sammarco will have copies of his book available for purchase after the event. $20.00 cash or check accepted.
