If your recipe serves 4-6\, that should be more than enough. People tend to take small portions so they can try everything.\n \n \n \n \n \n Will alcohol be served? Can I use it in a recipe?\n Per the conditions of the Historical Society’s liquor license with the city\, we do not serve alcohol at these events\, and guests cannot bring alcohol to drink. However\, dishes with cooked alcohol are perfectly fine to bring.\n3S Artspace has a bar and will be serving drinks.\n \n \n \n \n \n How are food allergies handled?\n We do ask people to provide us with a list of ingredients in their dishes\, but this is a potluck-style dinner with dishes all laid out together on a long table and served family-style. Dishes are prepared at individuals’ homes and cross-contamination cannot be ruled out.\n \n \n \n \n \n Are non-alcoholic drinks provided?\n Yes! In addition to water and seltzer\, we provide fun mocktails for everyone to enjoy!\n \n \n \n \n \n Can I plug in my crock pot?\n Unfortunately\, we do not have enough outlets to accommodate crock pots or other electrical equipment.

Through drawing and community engagement\, Laura Tanner explores how local foodways define a community’s identity and reflect contemporary challenges that the community is facing\, like food insecurity and climate change. Gathering oral histories from farmers\, chefs\, restaurant patrons\, and home cooks\, her drawings present a visual archive of rituals\, recipes\, and traditions. Alongside works focused on Miami and New Orleans\, the artist will premiere works inspired by the Portsmouth area in the exhibit at 3S Artspace. Her site-specific works examine foodways of the Seacoast\, deepening the understanding of our community\, its economy\, social structures\, political leanings\, and needs.

In 2009\, an archaeological survey for the new Keene Middle School discovered the remains of their stay and brought to light one of the oldest Native American sites in New England. The remarkably intact site produced evidence of four separate dwellings containing over 200 stone tools and fragments of burned animal bone. These early people\, rather than being isolated stone-age nomads\, were part of a social network that extended across much of northeastern North America. The discovery and excavation of the site was required by the National Historic Preservation Act\, a frequently maligned piece of legislation that in this instance worked to save an irreplaceable piece of the human story.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Presenter:\nRobert Goodby is a professor of Anthropology at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge. He holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from Brown University and has spent more than thirty years studying Native American archaeological sites in New England. He is a past president of the New Hampshire Archeological Society\, a former Trustee of the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner\, and served on the New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs. In 2010\, he directed the excavations of four 12\,000-year-old Paleoindian dwellings at the Tenant Swamp site in Keene\, and his book A Deep Presence: 13\,000 Years of Native American History\, was published in 2021 by Peter E. Randall Publisher. \n \n \n \n \n \n This event is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities URL:https://portsmouthhistory.org/event/lecture-12000-granite-state/ LOCATION:Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street\, 10 Middle Street\, Portsmouth\, NH\, 01801\, United States CATEGORIES:Education Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://portsmouthhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NHH-Lecture-5.16web.png GEO:43.075448564665;-70.760680175025 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street 10 Middle Street Portsmouth NH 01801 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10 Middle Street:geo:-70.760680175025,43.075448564665 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
