Exhibit Opening: Lens on the Larder: The Foodways of Southern Appalachia in Focus

This new exhibit, with photographs by Larry Smith and oral histories collected by Fred Sauceman, both of East Tennessee State University, documents traditional and emerging foodways of Southern Appalachia—lard-fortified bowls of soup beans, the first appearance of bottomland strawberries in late April, hand-cranked homemade ice cream at midsummer, and the making of artisanal goat cheese on a Western North Carolina farm. Join us to welcome this exhibit to the Southern Food and Beverage Museum.
