Join Our Annual Celebration of Easton’s Claim to Astronomical Fame!
Every December at Greiser’s we celebrate the cosmic event in 1807 that put Easton at the center of scientific exploration.
Celebrate and learn about the world-famous meteorite that was observed by Eastonites in the sky before it landed on farmland here this month, 216 years ago. The event is known as the first documented observation of space stuff landing in North America. Chunks of our town meteor (officially and misleadingly known as the Weston Meteorite) are held in collections around the world, from the Yale Peabody Museum in New Haven to the Vatican Observatory in Italy.
This year, on Thursday, December 12, from 6pm – 8pm, come to enjoy an entertaining and informative talk by resident Easton Meteorite History Expert Frank Pagliaro while dining on a delicious assortment of homemade celestial canapés and cosmic cocktails.
Please book your spot in person at the store or online here by December 6.
