Suzanne S. Simmons, director of the 18th-century backcountry life ways studies program at the Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, will lead the program, “Stewing Over Southern Seasonings,” which will be held in the Mountain Heritage Center auditorium.
In her position at the Gastonia museum, Simmons weaves together her interests in 18th-century life ways, Native American and Aboriginal folklore, storytelling and working with children into a web of programs and activities that convey, as accurately as possible, life in the 1700s Piedmont backcountry.
Simmons’ presentation is part of supplemental programming for the exhibit “Southern Stews: Traditions of One-Pot Cooking,” which will be on display at the center through Sunday, March 30.
The Mountain Heritage Center is located on the ground floor of WCU’s H.F. Robinson Administration Building. For more information about its programs and exhibits, contact the center at (828) 227-7129.
