About this event
Step into the 1920s for an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, music, and history at Glensheen! Begin your evening by entering through the Juliet Balcony, where you’ll be greeted with a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres before heading downstairs to explore Glensheen’s basement. Discover 1920s-inspired activities and artifacts on display, enjoy music from the era, snap a photo in the billiards room, and take in a few surprises along the way.
Enjoy a selection of fun, 1920s-inspired cocktails available for purchase at the cash bar before settling in for an engaging history talk by local historian Tony Dierckins. Tony will present “Drying Out Duluth: From Temperance to Prohibition,” exploring Duluth’s complicated relationship with alcohol—from the city’s early liquor ordinances and temperance movement to Prohibition and the creative ways Duluthians continued to enjoy a drink. Following the talk, enjoy dessert and a special 1920s-themed experience to round out the evening.
