Ice cream recipes are included in the new Homeplace cookbook, “The Homeplace History and Receipt Book,” which will be available for sale at The Homeplace gift shop. Author, Geraldine Ann Marshall, will be on hand to autograph.
“July 4th at The Homeplace is a wonderful way for the whole family to experience and learn the history behind one of the most important holidays in the 1850s,” said Special Events Coordinator, Cindy Earls. “Relive a time when the War for Independence from Great Britain was still fresh in memories and family stories.”
“Independence Day celebrations were large community gatherings featuring parades and children’s pageants celebrating the hard fought independence of the country. It was also a time of political speeches and community wide BBQs and picnics. We welcome everyone to make a day of it–bring lawn chairs, blankets, and your picnic basket of goodies,” stated Earls.
