Warm up with the smells and stories of a 19th-century holiday kitchen at Fireside Feast! Throughout the day, site staff will demonstrate the preparation of a traditional Victorian-era dish on the kitchen’s 1889 Grand Quaker woodburning stove.
Guests are invited to drop in anytime to observe different stages of historic cooking in action, from fire tending and ingredient prep to simmering and serving. It’s a special chance to experience the rhythms of holiday foodways just as the Starr family might have had over a century ago.
Please note: This is a demonstration-only event. No food will be served or tasted. The experience is included with regular house admission and takes place indoors, with small groups admitted to the kitchen to ensure an up-close and engaging visit.
We’re offering two dates to make it easier to fit this festive experience into your holiday season. Join us on the day that works best for you!
Admission fees apply.
