This tour will explore what we can learn from these items, including cooking styles from across the country and around the world, and some of the ways women have historically contributed to their congregation’s mission. As a special summer treat, staff will prepare recipes from these tasty (and maybe not so tasty) troves of recipes in a historical potluck.Held in the CLA’s historic reading room at 14 Beacon Street, these monthly collection tours connect residents of Beacon Hill and the greater Boston region with original, rarely seen materials in the CLA’s collections.This event will run from 12 to 1 pm and will begin with a short talk by Meaghan Wright, followed by plenty of time for browsing items from our collections and asking questions.Thanks to the generosity of the Beacon Hill Civic Association, these programs are offered completely free of charge to the public. Reservations are appreciated but not required. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/church-cookbooks-collections-tour-at-the-congregational-library-and-archives/100001986035178682 - **Event Categories**: food-drinks, nonprofit, potluck - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: 14 Beacon St - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: 14 Beacon St - **lat**: 42.3576657 - **long**: -71.0623588 - **full address**: 14 Beacon St, 14 Beacon Street, Boston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Church Cookbooks Collections Tour at the Congregational Library & Archives - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/2d8f22ec9587bb2a7813b0f39634437366c3f3c2d1dc3ae699cf03362f56f097-rimg-w1200-h675-dcdcdedd-gmir.jpg?v=1774846373 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Church Cookbooks Collections Tour at the Congregational Library & Archives being held? - **A:** Church Cookbooks Collections Tour at the Congregational Library & Archives takes place on Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm at 14 Beacon St, 14 Beacon Street, Boston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Church Cookbooks Collections Tour at the Congregational Library & Archives? - **A:** Church Cookbooks Collections Tour at the Congregational Library & Archives is organized by Congregational Library & Archives. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
