Our beloved Stories at the Old Schoolhouse program returns on June 24 with Independence Cake by Deborah Hopkinson (author) and Giselle Potter (illustrator). Celebrate American independence with a story inspired by the childhood of Amelia Simmons, author of the first American cookbook, published in 1796. Before then, all the cookbooks printed and used in America were British. After the story we will visit the York Corner Schoolhouse to sign the Declaration of Independence and try some Independence Cake.

Recommended for children ages 4 to 10. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
