- **Event Description**: The Depression Kitchen: Cooking & Canning

When the Dust Bowl swept across the plains, the kitchen became a place of incredible ingenuity. Join us for a hands-on journey back to the 1930s and 40s to learn the survival skills, recipes, and "waste-not-want-not" philosophy that sustained families through the Great Depression and World War II.

What You’ll Experience:

Resourceful Recipes: Learn to whip up authentic "Depression-era" staples—from mock apple pie to creative bean dishes—that maximized flavor on a shoestring budget.

The Art of Preservation: Master the essentials of water-bath canning and food storage. Discover how South Dakota families preserved the harvest to ensure nothing went to waste during lean winters.

Rationing & Resilience: Explore the history of Victory Gardens and WWII rationing, and see how home cooks turned scarce ingredients into hearty, comforting meals.

The Sisseton Legacy: While the Fort dates to 1864, its history continued through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era. Learn how the park itself was restored by the same hands that mastered these kitchen skills.

This immersive class is perfect for home cooks, history lovers, and anyone interested in sustainable, traditional foodways.
