What a fun way to spend a wintery mid-week night! Thanks to all the great folks who showed up to our Winter Warmer on Wednesday evening! Lorna and Tina from the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic entertained us with their rum running and temperance stories - so well done, thank you!! The Tin Roof Distillery was a great host keeping everyone hydrated 🥃 and Hustle & Bustle Catering filled our bellies with tasty bites 🧀.
The LHS hosted this evening to bring together community and celebrate our heritage! Visit our website to watch for future events, purchase a membership, volunteer, and donate to keep our organization active and support the Knaut-Rhuland House Museum! ❤️
