Fall was a season of abundance in the 19th century—a time to harvest crops, preserve the bounty, and gather to share the year’s best food. Join Museum Interpretation staff to explore the rich traditions of maritime foodways—from farming to fishing—and how food was grown, harvested, caught, and cooked. Step inside the Buckingham-Hall House for a historic cooking demonstration, and discover how coastal communities enjoyed their seafood. Visit the Fish and Forest exhibit to learn how modern fishing families are adapting to a changing New England, then stop by Home Port to create your own fish-themed craft to take home. Come celebrate the flavors of fall—past and present—along the waterfront.
