SUMMARY:Open Hearth Cooking Class
DESCRIPTION:As a part of the Taste of Tennessee Festival\, the Heritage Alliance is excited to partner with the Exchange Place in Kingsport to offer an open-hearth cooking class on September 21st. We will have a class that day at 10:00 am. Students must be 10 years of age or older to participate in this class. Space is limited to 15 students. Parents may have to wait outside or take turns watching the instruction. Instructor Heather Gilreath will lead students through the process. Payment of $12.00 is required upon registration. All supplies are included. The Exchange Place is located at 4812 Orebank Rd\, Kingsport\, TN 37664.  \nPerhaps no food is more associated with early America than the humble hoecake. This historic “fast food” fed both rich and poor\, enslaved and elite.  Join us for an interactive and engaging presentation at Exchange Place Historic Site to learn more about hoecakes and other fare of the antebellum Mountain South.  In the reconstructed log kitchen\, you will see first-hand how food was prepared over an open fire in the days before electricity and indoor plumbing. Especially curious students may even make their own hoecakes! \n*Please wear long pants and close-toed shoes.

SUMMARY:Cast Iron Clinic
DESCRIPTION:A collaboration between The Heritage Alliance of Northeast Tennessee and Create Appalachia\, this workshop features Katie Hoffman and Brett Tiller of Vintage Kitchen Cast Iron and Collectibles. Vintage Kitchen buys\, sells\, trades\, and restores cast iron professionally. Katie and Brett will lead a discussion about selecting the right pans for your kitchen and show you how to clean and maintain your collection—old or new. They’ll bring their portable cast iron “museum” and share a bit about cast iron history.\n\nDo you have a family heirloom or flea market find that needs a little cleanup? Bring it along and they may be able to tell you something about its age and origins\, as well as whether it needs restoration. (And if you want them to do the job\, they’ll give you an estimate!).\nWhether you’ve inherited your grandmother’s cast iron or purchased a brand-new piece\, it’s likely that you have some questions about cooking in and caring for your cast iron. Here are a few of the most common questions we’ll answer:\n● Is it true that I shouldn’t use soap on my cast iron pans?\n● Can I actually use cast iron on a glass-top stove?\n● I have my grandmother’s heirloom skillet\, but it’s rusty and crusty. How do I restore it?\n● How do I choose the best cast iron for my own cooking style?\n● If my pan is really grungy\, I can just throw it in the grill or into a fire and clean it up\, right? (PLEASE DON’T! Come to our presentation to find out why.)\n\nBring your questions—and any pieces of cast iron that you might have questions about—to the workshop. If you’re thinking about purchasing a piece\, we’ll have a few items for sale. Ladles and Linens has a great selection. Don’t miss this chance to find out what you want to know! Everyone welcome\, from beginners to collectors.\n\nTickets for this workshop are $10.00 and are available at jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Visitors Center at 423-753-9580. There are 40 spots available.\n\n\n\nThe Taste of Tennessee promises good times\, good company\, and good eats. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to learn more about our local food heritage from September 17th – September 24th. Bring your appetite for Appalachia!\n\nThe Heritage Alliance is dedicated to the preservation of the architectural\, historical\, and cultural heritage of our region and to providing educational experiences related to history and heritage for a wide range of audiences.

SUMMARY:History Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chester Inn State Historic Site and Museum on September 21st at 6:30 pm as we welcome Joshua Dacey\, Site Manager at the Chester Inn Museum for this month’s History Happy Hour! \nAt the conclusion of the Civil War officials at the state and local levels in many of the former Confederate states vigorously fought to keep a racial caste system in place. This early Jim Crow period saw the enactment of laws and “Black Codes” specifically targeted at formerly enslaved individuals. For generations\, skilled and unskilled enslaved men\, women\, and children were “hired out” to perform menial labor that their enslavers financially profited from. In a new system of convict labor leasing that developed after the Civil War\, state and county governments likewise profited by using their prison populations to labor on commercial or private projects such as road construction\, railway maintenance\, logging\, or mining.  What allowed them to do so was a loophole in the 13th Amendment that stipulates “involuntary servitude” will only be used as “punishment for a crime.” Beginning in 1866 and continuing until 1886\, Tennessee quickly became one of the first states to implement convict labor leasing. Evidence also indicates that a system of convict labor leasing was utilized in Jonesborough as early as 1822. Mr. Dacey will be talking about all this and more. The program is entitled “I’m free from the chain gang now:” Building the Railroads of the South and Convict Labor Leasing. It will begin at 6:30 pm in the International Storytelling Festival. The program is free and open to the public! \nThe 2023 season of History Happy Hour will run from April through November with a new program every third Thursday of the month. The full schedule is available on the Chester Inn’s Facebook page and the Heritage Alliance’s website. If you can’t attend History Happy Hour in person\, each program will be livestreamed to the Chester Inn Museum’s Facebook page. \nThis project is funded under an agreement with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation\, Tennessee Historical Commission.
