Item Description
Here's your chance to learn hearth cooking! Produce a delicious hearth-cooked dinner for up to six people in Windsor Historical Society's national-award-winning Strong-Howard House, where everything is hands-on. The menu includes bread, gourd (butternut squash) soup, choice of chicken or pork roast, and apple pie. (Bring your own wine.) In 1925, Windsor Historical Society saved the 1758 Strong-Howard House from being demolished to make way for a gasoline station. Since then, it has anchored Windsor's historic district and served as the foundation for the Society's many services for school children and adults. Today, after a successful $750,000 capital campaign, the home has been fully stabilized and reinterpreted. Furnished with reproduction artifacts instead of antiques, the home replicates the life of the Howard family in the year 1810. Guests are invited into this historic home which has garnered local, state, and national awards. Learn more about the Howard family's lives and their concerns. Set the dining table, try out the bed, experiment with hearth-cooking tools and guess how they were used. Pull open the drawers of the high chest and try on stays, bonnets, and britches. This meal is perfect for groups of all ages.
