Foodways
Welcome to the Foodways of West Augustine! In the picture below, hover your cursor over each item for more information on how mid-twentieth-century residents purchased, caught, grew, and made their food. Explore the cookbook full of sample recipes, the calendar listing holidays and traditions, a plant from the vegetable garden, a grocery bag with store-bought goods, a wine bottle possibly containing moonshine, an ice box to keep food fresh, a milk bottle delivered by the milkman, and a cooking pot for preparing meals.
Created by AnneMarie Echols, Caroline Martin, and Saylah Preston for HIS 265: Introduction to Public History, 2018.
