Hearth Cooking: Christmas Fare
December 17, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Christmas Fare is on the menu for our December Phoenix Mill House hearth cooking day. Visit the house between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to sample traditional Christmas dishes and learn about Christmas history in New England.
The Christmas Fare menu includes chicken pie, carrot soup, root vegetable hash, Pudding in Haste, molasses candy and, of course, gingerbread cookies. Guests are welcome to sample these period dishes made using historic recipes and cookware over the open fire.
The Phoenix Mill House was an overseer’s house for the textile mill that once stood at the corner of Main and Grove Streets. Our costumed interpreters, Samuel and Nancy Prescott, will share with you what life was like when they lived in the house with four children in the 1830s.
