Join us Saturday, May 3, for an adventure into early 1800s foodways! This unique demonstration will help visitors learn about what might have been on the daily menu for the residents of the town of Blakeley, as well as how they gathered ingredients and prepared their meals. This enlightening, interactive and fun program will help visitors understand the lives of those who once resided at Blakeley by discovering one of the most fundamental aspects of their daily routines.
