A History of Coffee
From Cowboy Coffee to Nespresso machines, coffee has come a long way. Come learn about the history of this coveted beverage at the John Bell House, and witness a live coffee roasting over a campfire, just like it would have been done in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Then stop by a local Dover coffee shop to get your caffeine fix! Stop by anytime between 10 AM - 3 PM for this special program. This program is FREE to the public. Please note, none of the coffee that is roasted on site will be for sale, nor can it be consumed.
