Lunch and Learn: Cincinnati’s Candy Connection

What is this?

Explore the intersection of history and culture with our monthly Library Lunch & Learn series for older adults, presented in collaboration with Cincinnati’s cultural hubs, historians, and Meals on Wheels of Southwest OH & Northern KY. This month, Cincinnati Museum Center will share the who, what, when and how Cincinnati became an early “candy town” in the US. Did you know that Cincinnati had its own Candy Barons, or that at one time Cincinnati had just as many confectioners as brewers? Discover how fireworks and oysters played a part in the Cincinnati candy business and what “bean-to-bar” chocolate making is. Explore a “taste” of Cincinnati Candy as we travel through 200+ years of sweets in the Queen City. Lunch provided. Limited spots available, registration is required.
