A Pint of History with The Tattooed Historian

EVENT DATE: Wednesday, February 4 @ 7:00 pm

Event Details

Step into an engaging evening of historical debate and discovery at The Irish Harp Pub. This edition of A Pint of History focuses on the War of 1812, exploring the personalities that shaped the era. Our historians will present their top three figures in ascending order, providing clues for the audience to guess each pick before offering a thoughtful defense of their choices. Between rounds, attendees will vote on which selection they believe is strongest, adding an interactive element to the discussion.

Audience participation is encouraged throughout the evening. Guests may submit their own nominations on slips of paper, and a few will have the opportunity to briefly explain why their choice should have been included. Each round promises lively discussion, intriguing perspectives, and plenty of insight into the people who influenced this pivotal period in Canadian and North American history.

Admission is free, and we will be collecting donations with all proceeds benefiting the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum’s Expansion Project—a meaningful way to support the preservation and sharing of local history.

This event is presented in collaboration with The Tattooed Historian and the NOTL Museum. We invite you to join us for a thoughtful evening of history and conversation, and to reserve your spot by emailing info@theirishharppub.com

The world of World War I historians has no voice more unique than John Heckman. Also known as the Tattooed Historian, John has had long experience with teaching, and creating Living History impressions for other genres, including the Civil War, before he started to really devote his maximum efforts to World War I. John is very active online, hosting successful a Podcast series, Twitter, and Facebook social media accounts. John’s take on history is very fresh — he brings modern sensibility, personal viewpoint, and soldier-level context, to his interpretation of historical topics. John has also been a great friend and partner to the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission, participating in several of our key events, including parades, commemorations, and the design rollout of the National World War I Memorial in Washington DC.
