People & Perspectives with Dan Dawson @ Historic Sotterley

Dan Dawson from Tobacco Barn Distillery will spend an evening discussing his family’s farming history from decades as tobacco-centric to small grains and currently to bourbon production. Topics will include the impact of the development of NAS Patuxent River on the farming community and his family, the tobacco buyout, the rise in popularity of bourbon – America’s spirit and the history of southern Maryland as bourbon’s true birthplace. For those of legal age, samples of Tobacco Barn’s currently released products will bemade available as well as the opportunity to purchase bottles with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Historic Sotterley.

This event is FREE and hybrid, meaning you can join us in-person or virtually. Registration is required. In-person participants are welcome to join us for a pre-reception at 6:15 pm.
