The Soda Fountain: The Rise and Fall of an American Institution

Join Robert Feeney as he brings to life the history and anecdotes of the soda fountain in America and its association with the corner drugstore. Long before the Civil War, soda water was considered a medicinal remedy. Robert will guide you through the rise and fall of this bubbly business. He will blend fond memories of cherry phosphates, lime rickeys, and root beer floats with the history behind the now-famous (and some not-so-famous) fizzy drinks of yore.
