September 13, 2025: Summer Pipes & Cider

Join East Haddam’s Palmer-Warner House for our second annual Pipes & Cider event, where the rich traditions of Scotland come alive! Enjoy barrel-aged cider and whiskey tastings from Yankee Cider Co. The Portland & District Pipers will perform a lively set, accompanied by a short trail walk around the beautiful Palmer-Warner grounds (weather permitting). Bring your friends and test your knowledge with a round of pub trivia. One of the three trivia categories will feature questions based on the historical fantasy television series, Outlander, which takes place in Scotland. Attendees are encouraged to dress in Outlander attire. Prizes will be awarded to the top two teams. Raise a glass, embrace the music, and celebrate the magic of Scotland!

Tours of the Palmer-Warner House, a Connecticut Landmarks museum, will be available during the event for regular admission between 1 pm and 4 pm, with the last tour at 3 pm. Experience the home Frederic Palmer and Howard Metzger made in what they called “the wilds of Connecticut.” Frederic Palmer turned the Palmer-Warner House, which he lovingly called Dunstaffnage as a nod to his Scottish heritage, into a safe place for his LGBTQ+ friends, neighbors, and family to gather and enjoy life unhindered by societal norms. Learn about the collection of letters and diaries, photographs, historic furnishings, and decorative arts used to reconstruct their lives together. House tour tickets for September 13 may be purchased separately at www.ctlandmarks.org/pwhousetour
