Got food history? Put this on your calendar! I'm partnering with Old Westbury Gardens, a beautiful Long Island historic site, and American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) on a one-day conference focused on kitchen spaces in museums and historic houses. Join us for an expansive program focusing on new trends, including commercial kitchens at immigrant-owned businesses, teaching with indigenous cooking practices, kitchens in spaces of enslavement, and more. We'll be joined by amazing speakers, including keynoter Sarah Lohman, "the Food Griot" Tonya Hopkins, and many more expert interpreters and curators.

I could not be more excited to read this! Seaside summer communities are one of my abiding interests.

Preservation is a growing passion of mine. I'm thrilled to join Valentina Miller of NIGHT KITCHEN INTERACTIVE, Leonardo Vazquez, Danielle De Laurentis, and Marc Lorenc to offer an interactive workshop on placemaking in preservation. It's part of the New Jersey History and Historic Preservation Conference, June 5 and 6, 2024. And it takes place in the absolutely stunning restored Terminal Building and Train Hall at Liberty State Park - the 19th-century embarcation place from NYC to all points New Jersey, and a gem in its own right. Thanks to New Jersey Historic Trust, NJ Historic Preservation Office, FRIENDS OF NEW JERSEY HERITAGE, and NJ State Park Service for co-hosting this great-looking gathering. Sign up now - just 50 spaces in the workshop! https://lnkd.in/eMVg-Jmg
