Cocktails and Congress
Drink in the moment independence began. Step
back in time to 1774, when revolutionary ideas
first took root in Philadelphia and take a front row
seat to all the action behind the scenes at the First
Continental Congress. Watch the Founders debate
independence inside the storied walls of
Carpenters’ Hall. Witness the tension, courage,
and conviction that shaped the path to American
liberty through short, vivid scenes while enjoying
cocktails and snacks. Feel the energy of spirited
debates and passionate disagreements with the
Founding Fathers – John Adams and John Dickinson – as well as members of the enslaved and
free Black communities, as they wrestle with the fate of the colonies behind closed doors.
