Join the Haddam Historical Society and antique bottle expert Ed Stanton of Higganum to learn about old and antique bottles. Ed was instrumental in the Thankful Arnold House Museum’s archaeological dig in the summer of 2016 and helped identify many of the intact recovered bottles. He will discuss the evolution of bottle manufacturing and show examples of Connecticut bottles made for area businesses. He will talk about what makes a bottle valuable including markings, condition and shapes.
We encourage attendees to bring a bottle you may have dug up in the yard, found washed ashore or plucked from the privy pit.
Admission is $3 per person. More information is found at www.haddamhistory.org or call 860-345-2400
