The Way We Ate 1830 -2008

March 28, 2009 through August 6, 2011

Explore the eating habits, cooking equipment, methods and diverse food traditions of McLean residents since the early 1800s.  Discover how dramatically our habits have changed over time.  Investigate four kitchens, each representing a different era and illuminating how the kitchen has changed in the last 180 years.  Use hands-on interactives to better understand where food has come from and how dramatically food sources have changed.  Delve into the interpretive panels between kitchens to see social and economic changes that have shaped the way we ate from 1830 to 2008.
