Each year, CCHS hosts the McLain Bash at the Two Mile House in honor of J. McLain and Mary Wheeler King, the previous owners of the Two Mile House, and our region’s Celtic past.
Attendees can enjoy high-end whisky tastings and all-you-can-eat food donated from local restaurants.
The party is open to anyone 21 and up.
Join us on July 26, 2025 from 6pm to 10pm for another fantastic time!
Contact Sharon Filipovich (sfilipovich@historicalsociety.com) if you have any questions.
Sponsorships still available here.
