Enfield Shaker Museum

The Enfield Shaker Museum in New Hampshire is devoted to preserving the history and culture of the Shakers. Within their “Shaker Studies” pages on the website, they have a collection of “traditional” recipes with a short paragraph providing historical context to them. While there is information about food and cooking at the museum, it does not appear to be directly linked to this page.

Reclamation: Recipes, Remedies and Ritual

This exhibit is an online project focused on recontextualizing the traditional role of women, and includes recipes. It is also similar in the user engagement aspect- it encourages users to participate in the exhibition by sharing recipes, anecdotes, photos, and reflections related to food through a recipe archive hosted on the site. It differs in that it is not tied to a physical exhibit or limited to the food of a single culture.

Plimoth Patuxet Museums

The museums have a physical exhibit titled “We Gather Together: Thanksgiving, Gratitude, and the Making of an American Holiday” which is listed and briefly described on their website. In a separate section of the site, under Activities for Children, there is a page of recipes for representative, historically accurate food that might have been served at the First Thanksgiving, created based on primary sources and scholarly research. The recipes are not explicitly linked to the exhibit in any way that we can see.
