Mystic Bridge looking West, c. 1897. Photograph ta Mystic Bridge looking West, c. 1897. Photograph taken by George Tingley. The Mystic Bridge has changed shape many times in its long life. The bridge in this photograph was built in 1866, and the "Walk Your Horses" sign erected in 1885. Notice the ice cream sign at the far right - the same location serves as Mystic Bridge Ice Cream nearly 128 years later! #localhistory #mysticct #mysticbridge #walkyourhorses #icecream #community #memories #photography #history #19thcentury #themoreyouknow

Join us tonight at 6pm for a fascinating journey Join us tonight at 6pm for a fascinating journey into our culinary past. In the first half of the nineteenth century, New England made a concerted effort to assert cultural leadership in the new American nation. New Englanders sought to encourage refinement of American manners and taste, and New England cookbooks played a big part in that effort. In the second half of the nineteenth century, in response to industrialization and the arrival of the immigrant work force, regional leaders flipped the cultural coin and began to sentimentalize rustic rather than refined foods, thinking that they were more emblematic of the colonial past. Although these "Colonial Revivial" dishes were altered from the originals, many of them still remain American favorites. Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald will offer a guided tour of the once-celebrated dishes and culinary ideas that have influenced American cuisine. Their talk will be followed by a sample item from the Colonial Revival. You won't want to miss a real taste of history! #localhistory #culinaryhistory #newengland #memories #nostalgia #history #community #heritage #tradition #cooking #recipes #colonial #american #food #taste #thingstodo #eventsnearme #stoningtonct #pawcatuckct #mysticct #jamestownri #authors
