Join us onsite in the Log Cabin as we explore historic foodways in the “Mid-Atlantic Melting Pot” with this season’s slate of presentations. We’re also coordinating this year with our free “History at Work” programs to feature a related hearth cooking demonstration in the Trimble House Kitchen during the day of each talk.

In 1796, Amelia Simmons wrote what is widely regarded as the first American cookbook, American Cookery. But little else is known about her. Through historical and genealogical research, Pamela Cooley has sought to solve the mystery surrounding Simmons. Her presentation will reveal the results of her research.
