April 19 — Family Day Around the Hearth

10 am – 2 pm — $35 per person including lunch

Brought to you by Anila Groft from Historic Ridley Park

Bring the whole family – all generations invited – and join us in the kitchen! Anila Groft, whose career in culinary arts spans 25 years, is also an 18th century food historian at Ridley Creek Plantation. She will be cooking on the Primitive Hall kitchen hearth, offering a hands-on workshop and sharing the experience with you. So get ready to bake bread in the beehive oven (you can take it home with you) and share a delicious lunch of seasonal springtime soup, finishing with your creation of bread pudding with orange-current sauce. Along with the food, Anila will share lots of culinary history and local food lore.

September 17 – Lecture: Pennsylvania German Arts and Architecture

October 15 – Lecture: Historic Flower Arranging
