History After Hours: America 250

For one night only, join the HISTORY CENTER AS WE TOAST TO THE NATION’s 250th anniversary with five floors of revolutionary revelry. Choose your own museum adventure filled with cocktails, crafting, vintage shopping, American history, and interactive experiences at this special 21+ birthday bash. Raise a glass to 250 years of the red, white, and blue with a special Cherry Bounce cocktail experience with Wigle Whiskey, shop through the eras at the Neighborhood Flea vintage market, create your own zine with War Streets Art Salon, and test your Americana and pop culture knowledge during an All-American Trivia Throwdown (a special edition of the History Center’s popular Hidden History Trivia). Meet artists featured in My America, pose for a complimentary live watercolor portrait created by illustrator Tara Zalewsky (available on a first-come, first-served basis), and share your hopes for the nation’s future at the interactive Wish Wall. This 21+ party is part of Civic Season, a nationwide movement to engage young Americans to learn more about history and civics, empowering them to shape the future of democracy.
