Perhaps you’ve seen those tables set for a fine and fashionable dinner throughout the Historic Area. Have you ever wondered about the work that went into making those objects, cooking that food, and setting that table in the 18th century? Join us for dinner TradesTuesday-style as we explore such a scene from several perspectives. At our table you’ll find cabinetmakers discussing furniture for dining, silversmiths exploring high-style serving pieces, Historic Foodways cooks planning meals, and sites interpreters speaking of the enslaved people who found ways to live their own lives amid the demands of making things like dinner happen.
