The History of American Food · May 24, 2023 · 25m

Shout out to the National Park Service! Hallowell Furnace is a beautiful spot all full of history.

So what does it take to run an 18th century house - inside?

Who does the work? (and how glad am I to live in the. age of not just running water - but hot running water?)

It's women and children working on the household jobs - find out what kind of women and children. But mostly - an update on the orphan situation.
