Join Nancy Carlise for a discussion of America's kitchens and how they have changed over time.
From the colonial period to the present, the kitchen has been a source of nourishment and comfort. The way Americans have lived with their kitchens has changed dramatically over the course of three centuries. Historic New England curator Nancy Carlisle will discuss how the American kitchen has evolved from the seventeenth-century to the present. Drawing on her book America’s Kitchens, co- authored with Melinda Narardinov, Ms. Carlisle will discuss the technological and social changes that have taken place in this room and suggest how these innovations have transformed kitchen work and changed women’s lives.
This program was originally scheduled for early February and is a collaboration with Rockport Public Library and other area libraries. This program is funded in part by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library.
