The Estes Valley Library is set to offer a unique opportunity for residents to take a virtual tour of the Smithsonian Institution this spring. Two engaging presentations from curators at the National Museum of American History and the National Air and Space Museum are scheduled for April 2 and June 3, respectively.
On April 2, Paula Johnson, curator and project director of the American Food History Project, will lead a discussion on Smithsonian American Table: The Foods, People, and Innovations That Feed Us. This webinar will explore the people, ingredients, events, and movements that have influenced American eating habits throughout history. Participants will learn about the impact of food companies on home cooking, the role of immigration and migration in shaping American cuisine, and how coming together in the kitchen can shape our collective future. Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to try their hand at cooking featured recipes that reflect American history and culture.
