“Bourbon at Sherman’s”
It’s time for the 4th annual “Bourbon at Sherman’s” fundraiser! Join us on September 11th in the beautiful gardens of the Sherman House Museum for an unforgettable evening of bourbon tasting, curated by Matt Brady and Matt Claypool. Guests will also enjoy cocktails, food and music while supporting local history in one of Lancaster’s most iconic historic settings.
The evening will also feature both a silent and live auction of unique, bourbon-themed items — including exclusive, one-of-a-kind creations by the Sherman House’s own irreverent director, Michael Johnson. These custom pieces, infused with Johnson’s signature wit and historical flair, will never be available in the museum gift shop, making them true collector’s items.
Don’t miss your chance to sip, bid, and support history.
Proceeds benefit the Sherman House, Georgian Museum and FCHA. FCHA is a 501c3 and does not receive any local, state or federal tax dollars. We rely solely on you to help us preserve our local history and these two amazing museums!
