Museum Offers Family Fun on Day Off
The Mercer Museum will have plenty for the small set to do in honor of Presidents Day.
On Presidents’ Day Weekend, the Mercer Museum will be hosting family-friendly activities for visitors.
On Monday, Feb. 20, food historian Susan Plaisted will entertain and educate visitors with her program. Plaisted will prepare, cook, and interpret “The Foodways of Washington’s Time” in the Mercer Museum’s Log House from noon-4 p.m.
Plaisted will cook Washington’s favorite breakfast – mush cakes with butter and honey - and discuss the Washington family, the seasonality of foods and the presentation of the meal. Guests can help prepare the breakfast by grinding corn in a quern.
