An Evening to Celebrate, Support, and Savor

The Board of Directors of Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center is delighted to present the 2026 Cannonball Gala — the museum’s premier fundraising event of the year.

Join us for a spectacular spring evening as we honor Sarah and Bernard Bouïssou, whose culinary excellence has enriched our community for more than two decades, and whose generosity has supported countless local events and gatherings.

Guests will enjoy:

Cocktails and dinner set within the museum’s stunning historic Walled Garden and Garden House
Exceptional cuisine by À Table by Sarah + Bernard
Live musical entertainment
Silent and live auctions
A spirited paddle raise
And a festive After Party with DJ Miles Lawrence

This unforgettable evening blends elegance, history, and celebration — all in support of a place that brings our community together.

KTM&HC is a trusted and important resource for the local community, supporting humanities engagement for audiences of all ages, building strong community relationships, and serves as an economic and cultural driver for the region.

All Gala proceeds directly support the museum’s mission to preserve its historic site, steward its collections, and share the stories that connect past and present.

Be part of this signature event. Sponsorship opportunities and tickets are now available.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you on Friday, May 1st!
