Dayle,
Speaking of Harriet Beecher Stowe, a great resource for your exhibit (and
inclusion for display if you can find an original) would be the book she wrote
with her sister Catherine, The American Woman’s Home. Originally published in
1869, it contains a wealth of information on how to properly set up of a
kitchen and much more.
Sounds like a great exhibit – have fun with it!

Hi Dayle,
We recently hosted a panel for the Woman's City Club at the Harriet Beecher
Stowe House, and one of the books they discussed was a centennial cookbook of
Cincinnati recipes. The Woman's City club was founded in 1915, so later than
you are looking, but that book and that group might be good resource for you.
The book is called Stirring the Pot in the Kitchen and the Community for 100
Years.

gadgets, utensils and food preparation processes.
If you have any narratives, materials or fun gadgets that you could share,
