The Settle's Kettle: Hearth Cooking Demonstration

Follow your nose to the historic Log Cabin and step into the world of early settlers in the Crooked Run Valley! This demonstration program explores the rich history of hearth cooking and its role in daily life on Virginia farms. Engage with rangers as you learn about traditional cooking methods used by European settlers and the African people who were enslaved here, and discover how these culinary traditions shaped the region’s food and culture. Visitors will have the chance to handle authentic cooking tools, sample bites from historic recipes, and experience firsthand the techniques that connected past generations to the land. Through food, farming practices, and cultural influences, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of life in the valley centuries ago. Is it all that different from your life today?
