Museum of Food and Culture Field Trip
Step back in time for a bite of history.
Join the Museum of Food and Culture for a Field Trip to Four Mile Historic Park, Denver’s living history farm, where you’ll explore the roots of Colorado’s food culture through hands-on experience.
Experience a Food Focused Field Trip at Four Mile!
August 16, 10:30am
On this guided visit to Denver’s oldest standing structure, participants will roll up their sleeves for a cooking workshop where they’ll try their hand at making cornbread on a historic woodstove and making butter from scratch in a 19th-century kitchen. Along the way, guests will connect the dots between historic foodways and the food systems we navigate today. While the cornbread is cooking, take a special chance to meet the farm’s goats!
Explore questions like:
How did white people in Colorado grow, preserve, and prepare their food?
What can cooking over a woodstove teach us about energy, labor, and resourcefulness?
How did small farms and homesteads shape their communities? And how does that shape our food system today?
This experience includes:
A guided tour of the historic Four Mile House Museum
Hands-on woodstove cooking: cornbread & butter from scratch
A visit with Four Mile’s resident goats
Warm cornbread to enjoy together
Come ready to cook, connect, and taste a little piece of Colorado history!
