Sunday, April 15, 2018
12:00 - 4:00 pm
Matthew Curtiss House Museum

Costumed docents will be available to lead tours, or you are free to walk through the house on your own. A special demonstration of making potpourri using colonial herbs and recipes will be offered, with visitors welcome to make a sachet of their own to take home, a ”sweet bag for linen” meant to refresh your linens when they were packed away - and keep the moths from destroying them! The recipe will be based on America’s first cookbook, published in Williamsburg in 1742, which included not only recipes for food but also for medicines, wines, perfumes, and salves. A donation of $2.00 is requested to cover materials.
