With Thanksgiving upon us we are featuring a few of the objects in the Hill House Museum relating to food and entertaining for this important day.
The kitchen being the main artery for this holiday, it was necessary to have a reliable cooking source. In the museum’s kitchen you can see the evolution of cooking from the fireplace to the cast-iron stove then to the electric range.
Next, we step into the dining room. In the background is the sideboard where the food would have been placed and served from. The table is set and ready for the Thanksgiving feast prepared just a few rooms away. One of the many pieces of Hill family china is this beautiful turkey platter.
One can only imagine how many Thanksgiving meals were prepared and eaten throughout the many decades when the Hill family occupied the house.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE FROM THE HILL HOUSE MUSEUM.
