Colonial Kitchen Hands on History Demonstrations

The Wilton Historical Society is hosting colonial kitchen hands-on history demonstrations on January 7 and 14 from 1 pm to 3 pm.





Adding another layer of experience to a visit to the Great Trains Holiday Exhibit at the Wilton Historical Society, Sunday afternoon visitors can immerse themselves in a typical Colonial task in the 1740 Betts Kitchen.  Sisters Kate Gluckin and Sarah McCullough, both experts in Colonial domestic arts, will be demonstrating cutting, peeling and drying apples for a Marlborough Pie; grinding spices; sewing and embroidery; butter churning and dough kneading; wool carding and spinning and more from 1:00 – 3:00 on Sundays, January 7 and 14.  
Kids can try their hand at these tasks, too! Please check the website for details.  No charge. All ages.  The Wilton Historical Society, 224 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT   06897 www.wiltonhistorical.org
