Cape Cod Maritime Museum

Come explore the fascinating history of cider, from its ancient European origins to its rise in colonial America and its unique role in early Cape Cod life.
2026 marks 250 years since the founding moments of the United States. Across Cape Cod and the nation, communities are coming together to honor this history—and cider played a central role in the daily lives of early Americans. Cider was once the drink of New England—served in taverns, on farms, and even aboard ships along the coast. On windswept farms and in seaside inns, cider connected communities, fueled debates, and accompanied the toasts that shaped a young nation. In 1776, the average New Englander drank over 35 gallons of hard cider a year, and John Adams famously wrote, “I continue my practice of drinking a Jill of Cyder in the Morning and find no ill but some good Effect.”
Join Norbert Sack, founder of Sandy Neck Cider, for a lively journey through the rise, fall, and revival of this iconic beverage. Discover how its story is rooted in craft, culture, and everyday tradition, and enjoy a tasting of ciders celebrating centuries of history on Cape Cod.
Part of our History on Tap series—join us for an evening of local history, conversation, and cider.
Admission: $10 per person / $5 for members
Must be 21+ to sample cider; IDs will be checked at the door.
Enjoy cider from the week's special sponsor, Sandy Neck Cider, along with cheese, crackers, water, and non-alcoholic beer options.
We highly recommend reserving your tickets on our website in advance. Popular events often sell out quickly, and we cannot always accommodate walk-ins. Don’t miss out—plan and secure your spot!

Heritage Museums & Gardens

Discover the companion plants that highlight hydrangeas’ beauty while adding foliage color, texture, and blooms from spring through fall.
Hydrangeas are spectacular on their own, but they truly shine when paired with the right companions. Plants that share similar growing conditions can highlight hydrangeas’ lush blooms while extending the garden’s color story with vibrant foliage, contrasting textures, and flowers that carry the show before and after hydrangea season. In this inspiring program, Natalie Carmolli shares some of her favorite Proven Winners® ColorChoice® hydrangea cultivars along with the perennials, shrubs, and foliage plants that complement them best. You’ll leave with creative ideas for building beautiful combinations that keep gardens colorful and interesting from spring through fall.
This program will be held indoors at the Heald Center inside the J.K. Lilly III Automobile Gallery. Advance registration is required.
Consider staying after the program to visit the gardens and exhibits. Admission to Heritage following the program is included with membership. Those who are not members of Heritage may purchase a program registration that includes admission following the program at a discounted rate. Save $8 on your visit!
Program fees fund Heritage’s mission to inspire people of all ages to explore, discover, and learn together. Thank you for your support.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/148156/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
