Taste of History // Facebook
June 28, 2023 – The Taste of History, which takes participants on a tour of five local historical sites with drinks and hors d’oeuvres in between, is set to return this fall.
On Saturday, October 7 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the event will take adults aged 21 and up across Decatur to visit and learn about the city’s history dating back to the 1800s. Taste of History is hosted as a joint effort between the sites that will be visited: the Culver House, Gov. Oglseby Mansion, James Millikin Homestead, Hieronymous Mueller Museum and the Staley Museum. Tickets are required.
Each venue represents a business industry pioneer who influenced Decatur, including the creation of Ameren Illinois, the invention of the tapping machine and the founding of the corn starch manufacturing plant operated today by Primient. Each stop on the tour is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Decatur history, and all proceeds will go toward ensuring the preservation of such history.
Tickets can be purchased for $40 beginning in September in-person at the Hieronymous Mueller Museum or online by clicking HERE. After Monday, September 25, tickets will be $45. Space is limited.
