1770s Open-Hearth Cooking

Michigan’s Colonial Michilimackinac on Mackinac Island is a preserved fur-trading village representing 1770s life. There is much to see, including demonstrations of open hearth cooking.

Navarre-Anderson Trading Post is another 1700s fur-trading post museum which contains the oldest surviving wooden residential building in Michigan — and an 1810 cookhouse!

Historic London Town and Gardens in Edgewater, Maryland offers hearth cooking and other interesting classes.
