Sip & Stroll: A Progressive Cocktail Party in Waterford – June 7, 2025

Join us for an unforgettable evening of cocktails and historic homes to celebrate the Waterford National Historic Landmark. Guests will travel between four beautifully hosted homes, enjoying a signature craft cocktail, an optional mocktail, and a delicious appetizer at each stop. Groups will rotate through all four homes, spending about 25 minutes at each, with time allotted for walking between locations. At the end of the rotations, everyone will gather at The Old School for dessert and a champagne toast.
