This wooden, leather-covered chest is more than a simple storage box. Cleverly designed for use while on campaign, it contains nesting stock pots with removable handles, a folding grate with an extending handle for cooking over an open fire, and an array of practical essentials, including a coffee grinder, plates, platters, mugs, and cooking utensils.The original cookbox is now preserved at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. This presentation offers a closer look at how such an object supported Washington during his campaigns and what it reveals about the everyday realities of the Revolutionary War.The cost is free; please RSVP on the BHS website at www.baysidehistorical.org/events-1/george-washingtons-traveling-kitchen-a-revolutionary-war-cookbox.
