Walking Tour at Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center to Focus on the History of Cocktails
ENID, Okla. — The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center will host an exciting event full of exploration, drinks and more on Friday, April 7, from 6-10 p.m. Mixologists and historical interpreters will take visitors through the history of popular cocktails in “Liquid History,” the latest event in the monthly “Museum After Dark” series.
Guests will explore the rich and delightful recipes from the past two centuries that have been crafted and passed down from generation to generation. You will be guided through the Humphrey Heritage Village and experience everything from classic concoctions to the stories surrounding them as cocktails and history are mixed together.
Ticketed group tours start at 6 p.m., with time slots every half hour. Tickets for “Liquid History” are $40 per person. You must be 21 years of age to attend this event.
“Liquid History” will take place at the same time as the opening of “Frozen in Time: A Photographic History of Northwestern Oklahoma.” It’s a special exhibition featuring the works of local photographers Mike Klemme and Wess Gray, along with early regional photographers William S. Prettyman, William Edson and Richard J. “Dick” McConkay. Klemme and Gray will be available to talk about the exhibit and their work. The opening event is included with regular admission.
