Discover harvest‑time foods of colonial New England—from stews and baked pumpkins to cornmeal breads cooked on the hearth—on Saturday, September 12, between noon and 4 p.m. with hearth cooks Diana Dunlap and Leslie Evans. Diana is an actor, writer, and historian. Leslie is the Executive Director of the Avery‑Copp House Museum in Groton, Connecticut. Together, this mother‑daughter team will debut the Center’s new reproduction hearth with the first public cooking program in this space.

Watch as they bring historic foodways to life through authentic techniques, tools, and stories that illuminate daily cooking in early New England. This program is part of a tour of the Alden House Historic Site.
