Marcos Salaverria from the Lewes Historical Society will discuss the history of drinks and drinking in Lewes, Delaware. Topics include coffee and tea in Lewes, as well as meeting places and taverns once in the area and the drinks they served.

Marcos Salaverria is the Director of Education at the Lewes Historical Society, which promotes and advocates the preservation, interpretation and cultural enrichment of the Lewes region, through museum exhibits, educational programs, historical research and publications.

For centuries, Delaware has grown, produced, and brewed foods and drinks that have traveled across the country and around the world. But where do these goods come from and who are the people, past and present, that have made this possible? Through programs and lectures, History Revival: Food and Drink Across Delmarva will connect the public to the rich history of agriculture on the Delmarva peninsula, and the unique goods that have graced Delaware's tables for centuries. This lecture series is a collaborative effort of the Zwaanendael Museum and Lewes Public Library and has been made possible in part by Delaware Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
