Family Program: Mabee Colonial Kitchen

It might be cold outside but our hearth is warm! In this program we will open up our 18th century kitchen to recreate the flavors of the colonial past. Using recipes from real Mabee cookbooks, we’ll bake a selection of treats on our open hearth. We’ll also be churning up some delicious ice cream in 18th century style to go with our baked goods. Of course, everyone gets to sample for themselves! Free for SCHS Family+ members (RSVP required), otherwise $10 for everyone 4+. We will offer this program at 10am and 11:30am. Please choose your timeslot when you purchase tickets below.
