More and more restaurants and brewpubs appear to sponsor small local museums to attract customers. For instance, this past weekend I was in Terre Haute in Indiana where a former brewery site is now a restaurant with such a museum. Matthias Mooger founded a brewery in 1848 which laid the foundation for the Terre Haute Brewery which by 1892 was the seventh largest brewery in the USA. During the canal era beer was temporarily stored in at least five underground coolers along the docks of the Wabash & Erie Canal. Recently a leather pouch containing a worker's weekly pay was found hidden in the wall of a cooler, the newest coin dating from the 1860s.
