August 5 at 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Historic Rock Ford welcomes Tony Shahan of Flavors of History as he presents a lecture on “Craft, Clues and Cooking: Recreating the Trimble Kitchen.”
Join us for a journey of discovery as we recreate the Trimble House Kitchen and pantry. Learn about the research and archaeology that uncovered the important evidence in this 1739 kitchen at Newlin Grist Mill, Glen Mills, PA. Follow along with each new discovery as we peel back the layers to uncover the early 18th century space and its later uses. Learn about how the space was restored as an experimental kitchen and meet some of the trades and craftspeople who reconstructed furnishings to make the kitchen functional. This is a study of a kitchen from the architectural, archaeological, documentary, and cook’s perspectives.
This lecture will be held in the Langmuir Education Room on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. Admission is for the lecture only.
