# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Our American Story: Lettice Pierce Bryan
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Lettice Pierce Bryan was a pioneering but often overlooked figure in Kentucky history. Born near Danville, she authored The Kentucky Housewife—the first published cookbook in Kentucky—a remarkable achievement that transcended mere recipes to become a vivid record of 19th-century domestic life.

The Kentucky Housewife is far more than a cookbook—it’s a treasure trove of period recipes, household remedies, practical advice, and cultural insights. Through her work, Lettice provides a compelling glimpse into the lived experience of American women before modern conveniences, highlighting their essential yet often unrecognized contributions to family, community, and society. Lettice is portrayed by Dr. Cynthia Resor.
