Posted on by admin

Worcester, PA – If you have ever wondered how the colonists preserved their meats, then visit the historic Peter Wentz Farmstead on Saturday, January 12, 2013 between 10:00am and 3:00pm. The smokehouse will be smoking and guests will have the opportunity to see and learn about the various methods of keeping and preserving meats.

The historical method of preserving meats by hanging them within a structure with a “cool fire” was part of early farm life. The focus of the day’s activities will be on pork and pork by-products typically consumed on a Pennsylvania German farm in the 18th and 19th centuries. Also take time to tour the 1758 farmhouse and the summer kitchen where an exhibit of food processing equipment will be on display.

For more information about this program and others, please call the Peter Wentz Farmstead at 610-584-5104 or visit www.historicsites.montcopa.org and click on Peter Wentz Farmstead. The restored 18th century Pennsylvania German historic site is owned and operated by the County of Montgomery and receives support from the Peter Wentz Farmstead Society. The site is regularly open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm and Sunday from 1:00pm to 4:00pm with guided tours every forty-five minutes.
