Philipse Manor Hall is going on the road!

Sarah will discuss the global history of sugar & spice, wheat milling on the Philipse Manor, the Philipse connections to the global trade, 18th century foodways, and more. What did people eat 250 years ago? Where did their food come from? What types of tools did they use in the kitchen?
