KENNEBUNK
Brick Store Museum will hold food heritage event
The Brick Store Museum will kick off its year-end annual appeal with a special Thanksgiving Day-inspired evening of food history at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at 117 Main St.
In this illustrated one-hour presentation, “Displaying Abundance: The New England Thanksgiving,” award-winning food historians Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald will talk about the feast held in Plymouth in 1621 that was shared by English settlers and native people. They will seek to dispel the myths surrounding that first Thanksgiving menu and tell the real story of how the holiday developed in colonial New England. Through historic accounts, recipes and descriptions of how they, themselves, prepared many traditional dishes, the authors will share their take on the diverse, delicious and sometimes surprising food heritage of New England. A book signing to follow.
In lieu of tickets to the event, the museum invites donations to its Annual Fund, which seeks to raise $60,000 by Dec. 31 to fuel the Museum’s year-round programming, exhibitions, education and operations.
To learn more about this program or reserve a spot, visit brickstoremuseum.org or call 207-985-4802.
