America's Kitchens

The kitchen – at times a harried work space and at others the sentimental heart of the home – has always played an important role in our lives. Through special programs, house tours, exhibitions and more, discover the technological and social changes that have taken place in the kitchen and why, for so many of us, this room still symbolizes warmth and comfort.

We invite you to listen to America's Kitchen's author and Historic New England curator Nancy Carlisle discuss highlights from the book which focuses on the role of the American kitchen across the country and throughout the decades.
