Join us in the plank kitchen for an introduction to the history of southern foodways and the cultural fusions that shaped the region's diverse food systems. Discover the story of Eliza Hutchings, an enslaved woman at Oak View, and how the transition from slavery to freedom affected the domestic work and skills of women in the 19th and 20th centuries. Afterwards, participants can engage in some hands-on history and try making butter!

Recommended for upper-elementary age and up.

This program is free, but registration is required for all participants.
