Meadowcroft to host new 19th-century chocolate event
Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village outside Avella will host a new event, “19th-Century Chocolate,” on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m.
The all-day event will take a sweet look at how chocolate was produced and consumed during the 19th century. Visitors will enjoy ice cream demonstrations, learn about the history of chocolate in cakes and how the treat has changed through the ages.
There will be free samples of individually-wrapped American Heritage Chocolate while the supply lasts. The event is included with standard Meadowcroft admission. Children aged 17 and under receive free admission.
