OPEN HEARTH COOKING CLASS IN "THE BUCK"

Travel back in time with this exceptional culinary experience. You and five guests will participate in an interactive cooking class in bucolic Buckingham-Hall House at Mystic Seaport Museum. Your group will help to prepare the seasonally appropriate meal for open-hearth cooking then sit down in the "hall" by the fire to enjoy the delicious results in this unique time-travel experience. There will be a choice from two menus to include chicken or fish cooked over the fire, two sides, dessert, and appetizers. Group may bring own wine.

Buckingham-Hall House - originally situated in Saybrook, Connecticut near the only ferry crossing at the mouth of the Connecticut River - was purchased in 1833 by William Hall Jr. (whose father was a New York import merchant) from the estate of Samuel Buckingham.

Mystic Seaport Museum preserved the structure when a new highway bridge across the Connecticut River threatened it in 1951. The house was shipped by barge to the Museum, undergoing a second major restoration and re-interpretation in 1994.
