# Event Details

- **Event Name**: In Support of the Army: How MA Housewives Fed the Continental Troups in 1776
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 29 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: It is often said that the army marches on its stomach and it’s just as true during the 18th century as it is today. But how was the army supplied with that food? How was it cooked/processed? And what ways did the food that housewives cooked/processed/preserved in their homes support the Continental Army as it grew from local militia groups at the Battel of Bunker Hill to a full army under General George Washington?
Foodways historian Stacy Booth will discuss not only how the housewives of Massachusetts provisioned the army in the early years of the Revolutionary War but also how they used food and cooking as ways to protest taxation and the political policies that fanned the flames of a revolution. 
In partnership with Freedom's Way National Heritage Area.
