What is the oldest way of cooking? Let us travel back in time, to a period where preparing meals and cooking for the entire family was done without the aid of modern luxuries and advancements such as electric stoves, gas stoves, microwaves, air fryers, electric blenders or mixers, or toaster ovens.
Witness just how much hard work, elbow grease, and preparation goes into feeding your loved ones or yourself when it is done by hearth cooking over a wood fire.
Visit our antebellum brick kitchen today located beside the Jones-Stewart Mansion.
Note: The Brick Kitchen closes at noon for lunch and will reopen after.
