Thu 6/23 @ 5-9PM
The Cleveland History Center at the Western Reserve Historical Society hosts monthly History on Tap events, which combine a social happy hour event with an opportunity to get to know a little more about a particular aspect of Cleveland history based on the Western Reserve History Society’s collection.
Since June is Pride month, it’s focusing on Cleveland’s LGBTQ+ history. Representatives from various LGBTQ+ organizations will be there and they will have pop-up displays featuring items relating to LGBTQ+ pioneers in our own community. As a special bonus, historian and drag artist Dr. Lady J, who has a PhD from Case Western Reserve University and wrote her dissertation on the mainstreaming of drag in the 90s, will do a special presentation called “Rhinestone Revolutionaries on the Flaming River: Untucking Cleveland’s Drag Past.”
There’ll be a cash bar with beer and wine, and light refreshments available for purchase. Admission is $20, $10 for members.
