Dining in Early America

In Colonial America, the kitchen was the multi-purpose and multi-functional center of the home. As families pushed for more private spaces, many of these rooms evolved into our more modern-day rooms and homes. This presentation by LInda Dunbar will cover cooking and dining traditions in the American home in the 18th and early 19th centuries using the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) Museum Period Rooms as the focal point.
