Inside the Army Kitchen
Saturday, October 5, 2024 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
18th Century Cooking Demonstration!
2:00 P.M.—4:00 P.M.
Stop by to learn about what the Continental
Army soldiers ate and watch how it was
prepared. While General Washington
employed a cook, the average soldier had to
cook for himself. With supplies limited and
food seasonally based, meal preparation
faced challenges. Staff will discuss foodways
for both the military and civilians in 18th
century New York, the difficulties the army
faced in procurement of food, as well as
demonstrate cooking techniques from the
time period.

Explore the Museum, with over 1,300 objects on

months of the Revolutionary War.
