Tavern Talk: the 190th Anniversary of the Ursuline Convent Burning

On August 11, 1834, an Ursuline Convent on Mt. Benedict, in what is now Somerville, was vandalized and then burned to the ground by an anti-Catholic mob. Author and Salem State Professor Emeritus Nancy Schultz will explore the tensions over class, gender, religion, ethnicity, and education that fueled the convent's destruction. Tickets are $12 and include one drink from Aeronaut Brewing! <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tavern-talk-the-190th-anniversary-of-the-ursuline-convent-burning-tickets-943623642717" target="_blank">Register in advance via Eventbrite</a>. ABOUT AERONAUT Brewed with curiosity and backed by science. We’ve always pushed the boundaries when it comes to brewing. From propagating our own in-house yeast, to partnering with local businesses to source unique ingredients, experimentation is at our core. Alongside our commitment to creative brewing, we’ve always prioritized community. Since our inception, we’ve partnered with and featured countless local artists on our beer labels, welcomed resident musicians into our taprooms and worked with so many incredible local entrepreneurs and organizations. We pride ourselves on forging strong connections and being involved in our neighborhood. As we continue to grow and find ourselves reaching other communities in the Boston area and beyond, we carry with us a deep dedication to place and belonging. Aeronaut Brewing is ADA accessible.
