Unique Farmington Historical Exhibit Toasts Village's Bar Scene

FARMINGTON, CT — If you're in search of a museum exhibit that will make you exclaim, "I'll drink to that," well, the Unionville Museum can help you out.

That's because the museum has a special exhibit that pays homage to the Farmington village's bar scene of days gone by, when a cocktail or a brew was part of daily society.

Called "Last Call: Bars, Taverns and Spirits of Unionville," the special exhibit opened in May and continues until July 27 at the museum, which is located at 15 School St.

On display are various historical artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia of Unionville's favorite past and present gathering spots, whether they were speakeasies, bars, taverns, or nightclubs.

"We'll tell the story of how Unionville fared during prohibition, display vintage 20th-century cocktail shakers and barware, and share stories about local gathering spots from days gone by, like the Hotel Worthy and Lambert's Tavern," wrote museum officials.

The exhibit hours are Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
