What’s for Breakfast- Hearth Cooking

Find out what’s for breakfast at our February Hearth Cooking Saturday. Join Mrs. Prescott in the Phoenix Mill House kitchen to see what she is making for a hearty breakfast to feed Samuel and the children before a long day at the mill and at school. Enjoy a taste of the dishes and learn about what life was like for this mill family in the early days of the Industrial revolution.

Hearth Cooking Saturdays are open house programs. Stop by between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to sample the dishes prepared over the open fire and learn about life in the 1830s. Admission is free but donations help us keep the fires burning!

The Phoenix Mill House, located behind the Monadnock Center’s main building at 19 Grove Street, was an overseers home in the 19th century. The house is one of two surviving structures of the Phoenix Mill complex that stood at the corner of Main and Grove Streets in the 19th century.
