This event is part of our Bittersweet exhibition's Chocolate Stories Salon series and is co-sponsored by our friends and partners at Historic Somerville.
Join chocolatier Jeremy Spindler of Spindler Confections for a look at the fascinating candy history of the Boston metro area. You've likely heard of NECCO, but in its heyday the Boston area was home to over 140 factories producing a wide variety of chocolates & candies. Due to a variety of factors none of these companies exist anymore. However, there are still remnants of this once thriving industry sprinkled about the city.


Admission: This is a virtual event via zoom. While admission is free donations are welcome and benefit the operations of the Somerville Museum.


This event will also be recorded and published on our website.
