Drink In History: Sunday School Saloon
From Ella Mae Farmin running a Sunday school out of a saloon in the 1890s, to Delta Merritt riding miles on horseback every day to teach music lessons, Bonner County has been home to thousands of determined women whose passion built much of the community we know today. Hear the stories of more than 20 of these fearless, inspiring ladies as we celebrate Women's History Month with "Sunday School Saloon: Lionhearted Ladies of Bonner County" at the Hive.
Join us Saturday, March 22nd at The Hive. Doors open at 2:30pm and the presentation begins at 3:00
The Hive will be providing a full no-host bar, including a signature themed cocktail. You will also have a chance to pick up your favorite Museum merchandise at the event. Thank you for supporting local history!
