The Open Hearth Cooking program at Historic Deerfield interprets 18th- and early 19th-century foodways in a series of annual offerings. The open-hearth cooking interpreters offer Saturday cooking demonstrations in Spring, early Summer, and Fall that focus on seasonal foods, food preservation, the Cooks’ Garden, and topics related to food history.
In addition to demonstrations, Open Hearth Cooking Classes are held on Saturdays in February and March. Open-Hearth Cooking is also featured in Tavern Night dinners, and our 18th-Century Deerfield school program for elementary-aged schoolchildren.
