During Evergreen’s Autumn Harvest Festival on September 26, 2026 (1:00-4:00 p.m.) we will host a special presentation by food historian, Joyce White entitled Dining in Colonial Maryland. She is the author of Cooking Maryland’s Way: Voices of a Diverse Cuisine (2024). Ms. White offers various food related programs including: A Taste of History Programs and creates historically accurate food displays for use in museum settings through The Historic Faux Food Shop.
Dining in Colonial Maryland participants will “Learn about the various foods that sustained Marylanders in the early days of settlement through to the 18th century with distinctions being made for class, wealth, race, and time-period. This program explores foods that were grown or harvested in Maryland and looks at exotic imports from around the world such as spices, cheeses, pasta, isinglass, and more. Cooking techniques, food preservation, and period dining styles are also explored.”
