- **Event Description**: Historic Rock Ford welcomes Tony Shahan of Flavors of History as he presents a lecture on “Craft, Clues and Cooking: Recreating the Trimble Kitchen.” 

Join us for a journey of discovery as we recreate the Trimble House Kitchen and pantry. Learn about the research and archaeology that uncovered the important evidence in this 1739 kitchen at Newlin Grist Mill, Glen Mills, PA. Follow along with each new discovery as we peel back the layers to uncover the early 18th century space and its later uses. Learn about how the space was restored as an experimental kitchen and meet some of the trades and craftspeople who reconstructed furnishings to make the kitchen functional. This is a study of a kitchen from the architectural, archaeological, documentary, and cook's perspectives.

This lecture will be held in the Langmuir Education Room on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. Admission is for the lecture only.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER:  During his over 38 years working in in museums, Tony Shahan has worked to ensure that the stories of our shared past remain alive and accessible. He also developed a passion for historic food and beverage. He mostly works with 17th and 18th century receipts but has recreated beverages and dishes from ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Medieval Europe, and the 19th century. Tony regularly creates historic drinks during classes and for curated tastings. 

Throughout his career Tony has restored and reconstructed mills, water systems, and kitchens. He combines his love of historic trades with experimental archaeology and has led projects in brick making, manufacturing potash, recreating a 1739 experimental kitchen and pantry, and most recently rebuilding a water wheel using only 18th century tools and techniques. He is experienced with hearth cooking, wood-fired bake ovens, brewing and distilling. He has worked in an 1806 brewery, reconstructed 1850 brewery, and George Washington’s Distillery at Mt. Vernon.
