Stimulating Beverages: Tea, Coffee, and Chocolate Wares at Historic Deerfield [Winter Hours 2009]

This new exhibition will explore the fascinating role played by tea, coffee, and chocolate in New England, through an examination of Historic Deerfield’s vast collection of hot beverage wares. Although familiar to us today, few people ever give thought as to where these beverages came from or how they shaped and influenced daily life in the past. Come see examples of the novel “equipment” designed to serve these drinks. On view through August 9, 2009. Included with general admission.
