Overview

Hearth & Home

November 27 & 28, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Included with admission | Bring a non-perishable food item or a personal care product donation to the museum and receive $1 off admission.

Experience the warmth and traditions of a 17th-century autumn during Hearth & Home, Historic St. Mary’s City’s final living history weekend of the season. Stroll through the museum grounds as interpreters prepare seasonal dishes over open hearths, sharing the foods, cooking techniques, and daily routines of English and Indigenous communities. Enjoy the sights, sounds, and aromas of the past while learning how families gathered, cooked, and celebrated the harvest season. Guests can take home a complimentary recipe booklet to recreate historical dishes in their own kitchens.

In the spirit of sharing, visitors who bring a nonperishable food item or personal care product to donate will receive $1 off admission. All donations will support a local food bank, providing assistance to community members affected by the ongoing furlough and potential loss of SNAP benefits. Suggested items include canned goods, pasta, peanut butter, toiletries, and hygiene products. Maryland Food Bank offers a detailed list of suggested items.

All food prepared at our living history sites is for demonstration purposes ONLY.
