After-Hours Whisky Tours of Carpenters’ Hall

After-Hours Whisky Tours of Carpenters’ Hall, home of the First Continental Congress in 1774, feature access to the Hall’s rarely-seen second floor and 19th-century library.
Led by Executive Director Michael Norris, these exclusive, 90-minute, small group tours of the 1770-built National Historic Landmark run after the Hall closes at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays from March 6 to Thursday, May 29.
After touring the Hall’s first floor, guests are whisked up a quarter-turn staircase and through an ornate wrought-iron gate to the rarely-seen second floor, home to a handsome 19th-century library with rare books and a special exhibit of artifacts from the Hall’s storied history.
On the second floor (in the room where Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Francis Daymon, and a French emissary secretly met to discuss French support for the Revolution), Norris leads a tasting of three rotating Scotches and toasts to the good health of the group.
