On Friday, May 9, join Joshua Nolen, NPS Ranger and Western MD District Supervisor of the C&O Canal, as he presents “The C&O Canal in Washington County.”

This talk focuses on the history of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal in Washington County, as well as the current efforts of the National Park Service at the C&O Canal National Historical Park in Williamsport.

This month’s cocktail is the Salty Dog, a tangy combination of grapefruit, vodka, and salt inspired by the Salty Dog Tavern near Maryland Heights, along the C&O Canal. Doors open at 5:30 PM and light hors d’oeuvres will be served!

Culture & Cocktails 2025 has been made possible by the generous support of the James and Mary Schurz Foundation.
