An Ode to Francis Saltus Saltus

Join us for an evening in honor of illustrious poet, linguist, musician and scholar Francis Saltus Saltus. 

Fluent in 10 languages, the ambidextrous Francis was said to be able to write sonnets with one hand while composing opera with the other simultaneously. He was quite a character, to put it mildly. 

The epitome of "live fast, die young", Saltus penned classics like Flasks & Flagons, an ode to 31 beverages including tea, hot chocolate, coffee, water - and 27 kinds of alcohol. It's no wonder he died at age 40 in 1889.

Enjoy a reading of his delightful poems and quaff an adult beverage or two to get in the right spirit before visiting his grave. It will be the perfect way to pay our respects to the talented Mr. Saltus!
