The Wood County Museum will host its own education coordinator, Michael McMaster, as the speaker for the upcoming Tea & Talk Series on Nov. 12, 2 p.m., at the Wood County Museum, 13660 County Home Road, Bowling Green.
The November tea is titled “The Revolutionary War on the Maumee River Valley.” Although the Ohio Frontier was far removed from the better-known American Revolutionary War history, the Maumee River played an important, and little known, role during the conflict, 1776-1783. McMaster will share his knowledge about the Maumee River Valley and Ohio Frontier and its important part during the war.
Once again, the museum is partnering with The Summer Kitchen. The featured tea selection is called 1776. After the Boston Tea Party, the colonists boiled everything from pine needles, strawberry leaves, maple leaves and shrubs to stem their thirst for tea. This blend of Ceylon and Assam tea (both major teas growing in areas of the old British Empire) combines with the essence of strawberry and maple to capture the spirit of the revolution.
Reservations and payment need to be completed by Sunday, Nov. 8. There are two methods for payment. Either call 419-352-0967 and museum staff can assist, or visit woodcountyhistory.org to pay online.
