Colonial Feasts From the Hearth

Elias Child House has been the scene of countless wonderful meals since the early 1700's. This tradition continues. Authentic recipes are prepared on the hearth, in the beehive oven or reflector oven, in bake kettles, soup pots or other cast iron cooking utensils. The tastes are phenomenal.

Your hostess, mistress MaryBeth, dressed in colonial garb, will share recipes, cooking secrets or narratives from the 18th century. Master Anthony always has a story to tell before the roaring fire of the cooking hearth. Guests are encouraged to participate in the preparation of the repast.
