This intensive one-day conference, in partnership with the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) and designed for historic house and museum directors, curators, exhibit designers, educators, and interpreters, will immerse you in the flavorful world of historic house kitchens. Join seasoned experts and museum practitioners in exploring the untapped potential of food spaces with sessions on restoration, curation, interpretation, and programming.

The program’s format will include a keynote address, panel discussion and breakout sessions as well as a tour of Old Westbury Gardens. Continental breakfast and lunch are included in the registration fee.
