Visit America's Kitchens
America's Kitchens opens today at the New Hampshire Historical Society's museum.  You won't want to miss this opportunity to explore kitchen history, from New England to the Southwest, from Colonial to present day. Discover what was cutting-edge technology in 1807; the color contrasts of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s; and the stories of the people who made "dinner's ready" possible. Celebrate with us at our members-only reception and talk with Curator Nancy Carlisle on June 27, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Contact Membership@HistoricNewEngland.org or call 617-227-3956 to register.
The America's Kitchens exhibition is part of Historic New England's Year of the Kitchen, a celebration of the role of the kitchen in times past and present. Visit AmericasKitchens.org for a complete listing of programs and events throughout the region. |
