Information:

Join the Durand-Hedden House and Chef Jesse Jones for an afternoon dedicated to African American foodways at our historic open hearth. Chef Jesse's culinary DNA was developed during childhood summers in North Carolina, where his grandmother's cast iron stove was the source of many memorable food experiences. Today, he continues to be influenced by her legacy, bridging past and present through interpreting classic southern dishes with French techniques. At Durand-Hedden he will explore these traditions with an engaging demonstration and presentation.

The program is from 1 to 4 pm on Sunday, Feb. 13. Visitors also can view an exhibit about African Americans who fought to get women the right to vote. Admission is free, but proof of vaccination and masks are required.

The event will be at the Durand-Hedden House, 523 Ridgewood Road, Maplewood. More information at durandhedden.org and on Facebook at Facebook.com/DurandHedden.
