Hands-on History Drop-In: Colonial Kitchen

How did people get and keep food fresh before grocery stores and refigerators? The Hands-on History Day Drop-In Center offers an opportunity for your family to delve into that history in an interactive way. This drop-in experience, led by Museum Educators, will demonstrate the history of how people in the 1700s prepared and preserved their food. Participants will practice techniques such as churning butter, making teas, and pickling, and go home with materials to continue the fun. All members of the family can participate in these activities together!
