The Tavern Dinner was an authentic recreation of
the food served in the mid-nineteenth century.
It provided an evening of historic food and
music at Carillon Historical Park on Saturday,
October 1 from 545 - 945 PM

The opening orientation in the Education Building
provided a background for the events. Following
appetizers and cider, the DPS teachers were able
to help prepare the dinner at the William Morris
Home and cooked over indoor and outdoor fire
places.

We noted that the actual dinner preparations
began at 1000 am. The many Carillon historians
and guides took great care in providing authentic
experiences.

One can only wonder how it was possible to
actually cook from the cookbook, "The Tavern
Dinner Receipts." Our ancestors who read the
"Kentucky Housewife" must have been creative.

The Bill of Fare - Julienne soup, Stewed Beef and
Gravy, whole wheat bread, butter, apple sauce,
mashed potatoes, fall peas, buttered squash,
pickled cucumbers, and beets were enjoyed.

In order for the staff to clear and serve
dessert, we traveled a candle lit path to a
dancing pavilion. It seemed that the DPS
teachers were expert at dancing the Virginia
Reel, a dance with origins in Ireland.

Following an hour of dancing we returned to
Newcom Tavern for coffee and Bread Pudding in a
whiskey sauce. Again our Carillon historians
discussed the culture of the 1830s and answered
many of our questions.

As often is the case, the evening was greatly
enhanced by our own company, camaraderie, and
good spirits. We all look forward to WOEA day,
to field trips, to our trip/national Presentation
to NCSS in Kansas City, to National History Day,
and to our holiday banquet at Five Seasons
Country Club.
