July 19, 2025 – Early American Food Preservation

Today, we can easily buy anything we need year-round, but early Americans needed to preserve their food to last during the harsh winter months. Learn food preservation techniques, enjoy a sample of fresh jam made over our hearth and try your hand at making some quick pickles.

This program is included in museum admission. Enjoy FREE general admission for children under 12 for this event!
