Harvest Weekends: Cookies and Kuchen

September is the time to begin the work of the harvest and prepare for winter. Join us on these special September weekends as we cook and preserve, learn a little and enjoy the landscape. On this weekend, wood stoves will be fired up for Christmas baking, which often began in the fall, as some cookies needed time to develop their flavors and special characteristics.

• On Saturday only, from 1–4 pm in the museum store, meet Wisconsin Historical Society Press author Jerry Apps, who will be signing copies of his many gardening- and farming-related books, including Garden Wisdom: Lessons Learned from 60 Years of Gardening, Horse-Drawn Days: A Century of Farming with Horses and Old Farm: A History.

A special thank you to media sponsor WUWM 89.7 FM Milwaukee Public Radio for sponsoring programming for this event.
