Kitchen Encounters at Newlin Grist Mills
Explore historic cooking and foodways with demonstrations in the newly restored 1739 Trimble House Kitchen and the reconstructed Bake Oven behind the Miller’s House. Participants will experiment with various ingredients, techniques, and historic recipes.
Each program will have a different theme – this season, we’re exploring topics related to the ongoing archaeological excavations around the Trimble House complex in coordination with our Public Archaeology program!
2025 Kitchen Encounters:
– April 19 – Butter & Cheese – inspired by the excavation of a dairy addition on the Trimble barn site
– May 17 – Cornmeal – inspired by the Trimble corn crib ruins
– June 28 – Ices, Creams, & Jellies – inspired by the Trimble icehouse ruins
– September 6 – Tea Time – inspired by tea service artifacts that have been excavated onsite
– October 18 – Beer Brewing – inspired by the extant Trimble brewhouse & the Trimble malthouse ruins
– November 15 – Sausage Making – inspired by the later use of the Trimble brewhouse as a smokehouse for an abattoir that operated out of the original Trimble House kitchen
