Event Details:
Juneteenth is coming. Join us as we learn about history and get ready for Cycle III in Classical Conversations where we focus on American History. It's going to be an incredible year with special CCM activities as we celebrate America's 250th BD. Join our community for the upcoming academic year for all this and more. In this spirit, come learn about cooking in the kitchen of Barrington Plantation. Learn more about this special program here: https://wheretexasbecametexas.org/events/cooking-in-the-kitchen-quarter-15/ On this Field Trip we will learn about enslaved women and men, such as Mary, Jerry, Willis, Amy, and Charity, at Barrington. We'll start behind the Jones Home in the bustle of a busy plantation kitchen and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of a hearth cooked meal being prepared. Journey to the other side of the plantation and learn what foods Mary, Jerry, or Willis would prepare for themselves in their Quarters.
