Drinking History: Wild Women of Rensselaer County

  • The Ruck 104 3rd Street Troy, NY, 12180 United States (map)

Join HCM’s Kathy Sheehan and the Rising Leaders at The Ruck for the first Drinking History of 2023!

Throughout the 19th and early 20th century, Troy and Rensselaer County were home to several progressive-minded ladies who, while politically divided, worked together to foster women’s education, debate a woman's right to vote and advocate on behalf of other reforms such as abolition and child welfare laws that encouraged and supported women. 

Join Kathy Sheehan and HCM's Rising Leaders for the first Drinking History event of 2023 at The Ruck and learn about some of these fervently fascinating females that include Betsey Hart, Emma Willard, Olivia Slocum Sage and more! Enjoy great drinks, meet fellow history lovers, and soak in the lively atmosphere.

Ticket purchase includes a special themed drink provided by The Ruck, Wild Women of Rensselaer County talk given by City of Troy and Rensselaer County Historian, and a chance to enter and win a raffle prize.

Plus, a 10% discount on your final bill for all who stay after the event concludes!
