Join us for a food-tasting event of HISTORIC proportions! Hampton Roads' top caterers and restaurants will prepare their best interpretations of 19th-century dishes at this fan-favorite event. Guests can sip and savor while mingling with others — including Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass — as well as vote for their favorite dishes.

 

Dozens of delicious bites will be enjoyed throughout the evening as cooks battle it out for the coveted Cast-Iron Skillet Awards, including People's Choice and Judge's Choice.

 

Tickets include unlimited food tastings as well as one beverage ticket. A cash bar will be available serving beer and wine.

 

History Bites is a part of a day-long commemoration for the 158th anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads. The day activities include family-friendly programming such as costumed historical interpreters, featuring the Tidewater Maritime Living History Association, guest appearances from Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, music of the time period,  BattleQuest Scavenger Hunt, and more! All day activities are free with $1 Museum admission.
