Overview

Join Research Historian Casey Heilman, for an opportunity to sample some of the popular flavors of the past. For over 7 Years she served as the Living History Coordinator for a small 1847 first person historical site in Findlay, Ohio. She has given presentations for ALFAM, MCWCC, and other institutions.

We invite you to experience the richness of American history at the Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum through a four-part lecture series celebrating America 250 and Mississippi Agriculture. This series highlights how agriculture brings the community to the table through gardening, music, African American heritage, and food ways presentations.

The lecture will be hosted in the Heritage Center Gallery Auditorium.

This official America 250 project was made possible by a grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council, through support from the State of Mississippi.
