Friday September 31st marked the occasion of the first Pioneer Village/History Alive! staff potluck.
Administrators, directors, historical interpreters and their families and friends all gathered for an evening of period food, drink and music. There were several 17th-century Puritan delicacies to be enjoyed including a cucumber sallet, sweet chicken stew, beans and sausages, pumpkin pie, and roasted pork.
Village blacksmith Mr. Snitch (Kevin Sternweiss) and Director of Museum Studies and Scholar-in-Residence with the Institute for Public History, David Goss, provided period sea-chantys on the guitar.
The event was organized by Pioneer Village site director, Marc Ewart. Hopefully this will become an annual tradition!
