The last weeks of winter brought a very monotonous diet of preserved products to the colonial farm family. The green sprouts of spring seemed far away.  Learn all about the way the colonists managed their meals over these long days, described as "weeks of want." 

The colonial cooking specialists of the Museum will provide a fascinating look at this time as they prepare typical late-winter dishes over the museum's open hearth. Tours of the fully furnished, c1740 farmhouse are included.
