SUMMARY:"How to Feed an Army: In Search of a Bit of Gravy" with Foodways Historian Stacy Booth
DESCRIPTION:It is often said that the army marches on its stomach and it’s just as true during the 18th century as it is today. But how was the army supplied with that food? How was it cooked/processed? And\, in what ways did that differ from the everyday hearth cooked meals they ate at home? \nFoodways historian Stacy Booth will discuss how the Continental Army was fed and supplied. She will compare it to the food local housewives created at home and why that was important to provisioning of the soldiers themselves. \nStacy Booth is a foodways historian with almost 20 years of experience reenacting and presenting to the public. She specializes in 17th and 18th  century New England foodways presentations and cooking demonstrations. She worked previously at Plimoth Patuxet (formerly Plimoth Plantation) and Coggenshall Farm Museum as a 1st and 3rd person reenactor. Her experiences in Revolutionary War reenactment for the last 10 years have allowed her to travel far and wide participating in hearth campfire cooking as well as outdoor bread oven baking demonstrations. .

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Dwellings – Homes of Patriots and Loyalists in Marblehead
DESCRIPTION:Nearly every house in Marblehead that predates 1775 was the home of a serviceman in America’s Revolutionary War. An estimated 300 houses still survive\, even if modified by later generations\, out of perhaps 525 or so that existed as the war began\, when Marblehead was apparently still the sixth most populous metropolis in British North America. In June 1775\, nearly 600 men and teenage boys from those homes joined the Continental Army’s new “Marblehead Regiment” under Colonel John Glover\, which grew from the earlier rebel Patriot militia led by Colonel Jeremiah Lee until his death in May 1775. Starting in Autumn 1775\, hundreds of them would sail out as captains and crews of privateer vessels. And many would lose their lives that way. But the “prize” vessels they captured helped to supply and pay soldiers in the new nation’s struggling army\, and to outfit its fledgling navy. Over the course of the war’s eight long years\, an estimated total of 1\,400 or more would serve from this town of about 950 families–– all living in those 525 houses! Nearly all were Patriots\, as only about a dozen heads of households can be identified as Tories\, or Loyalists. And nearly every house was filled with women and many children who suffered greatly. It would take several generations for the town to fully recover–– and that was only briefly. But that is the reason so many pre-Revolutionary homes still survive. Come learn about where some of Mhd’s. Revolutionary heroes and their families lived. \nJudy Anderson is an independent social\, cultural\, and architectural historian who worked at the Marblehead Museum for 16 years\nas the organization’s first administrative director in 1994 and the only specified curator of the Jeremiah Lee Mansion from 2001-2010.
