History of American Pies
Tuesday, November 19 from Noon to 1 p.m.
Pies are as American as pizza is American: we took a great idea, adapted it to our needs, and ran with it. Our ancestors used what they had available locally and made the most from it. You might be thinking that pies are just for dessert, but for our American ancestors, they were often considered survival food. Sometimes, they ate pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for months at a time. Bring your lunch and enjoy the presentation, complimentary pie and drinks will be served.
