This year’s event will also feature recipes from the kitchens of U.S. Presidents who were in office during the Prices’ lifetimes. Guests can learn how our country’s “founding foodies” shaped American cuisine and taste dishes enjoyed by some of our first Chief Executives and their households, including Thomas Jefferson’s Macaroni & Spinach Bake, James Hemings’ Fritters a la Chantilly, and George Washington’s Chile-Spiced Pecans.
The price of admission includes a guided tour of Historic Price House. Guided tours will be given every hour on the hour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
