Historic Baking at Missouri Town

Step back in time with a hands-on baking experience at Missouri Town Living History Museum. You'll learn authentic baking techniques from the mid-1800s, working with simple historic recipes and an open hearth. Beyond just watching, you'll get to taste the fruits of your labor—literally enjoying the aroma and flavor of what you've baked yourself. It's a sensory-rich way to understand how families prepared food generations ago. A few practical details: wear natural fiber clothing since there will be open fires nearby (period attire is encouraged but optional). Class size is limited, so pre-registration is required. The workshop runs two hours and costs $25 per person. To sign up or learn more, contact the museum at historicsites@jacksongov.org or call (816) 229-8980.
