Foodways
Exploring history through food provides insight into cultural identity and shows the important role food plays in our lives by connecting us through traditions shared over generations. Observations of farming practices of Virginian Indians, cookbooks of early English colonialists to Southern food recipes created from African American influences cook up the materials found in the VMHC collections.
