Hops and History – “Prairie Madness: Fact or Fiction?” with Eric and Caitlin

Hops and History is back! In 2022, every other month we will be enjoying a Historic Happy Hour, complete with discussions of quirky historic topics and local craft beer.

At this month’s Hops and History, Stearns History Museum curators will examine the concept of “Prairie Madness,” and dig into some history to find out how common, or even true, it was during the homesteading years on the Great Plains. In popular fiction, this form of cabin fever often afflicted women on the prairie, leading them to bouts of depression and even violence. But how real was it? Join us at Pantown Brewing on March 15^th to find out!

(March 15, 6:30 pm – 8 pm) at Pantown Brewing Company

$7/nonmembers, free for members

The drinking of the beer starts at 6:30, and the program begins at 7! So bring some cash for a couple pints of delicious beer, and join us! You can register by calling 320.253.8424 or emailing info@stearns-museum.org.
