On Friday, July 11, Thomas Vitanza (Registered Architect, AIA) and Catherine Lavoie (HABS) present the history and architecture of the Herald Mail building at 100 Summit Avenue, Hagerstown, a significant building designed by a modernist architectural firm in the 1970s that became a cutting-edge newspaper printing plant for Washington County. This month's drink is the Harvey Wallbanger, a cocktail combining vodka, orange juice, and Galliano, a popular drink during the 1970s, when the Herald Mail building was constructed. 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. Please note: Weather depending, there is a possibility this event will be held outside in the Miller House Garden.
Join us on Friday, July 25, from 6:00-8:00 PM, as singer Liz Ruffner returns for another unforgettable night of Patsy Cline cover music in the Miller House Garden. This popular fundraiser at the Miller House sells out nearly every year, so get your tickets while they last! Patsy Cline has often been called one of the most influential vocalists of all time and is remembered as a legendary country singer. Liz Ruffner will perform your favorite Patsy Cline classic hits, including "Crazy," "I Fall To Pieces," and more. Don't miss your chance to witness an amazing tribute to one of music's all-time greatest stars. This event will have a cash bar. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and snacks. We also encourage you to bring your own lawn chairs, as patio seating is limited. Ticket proceeds from this fundraising concert will directly support the Washington County Historical Society.
