Cold War Foodways: From Bunker to Space

Thursday, November 6 | 7P | Museum Auditorium | All Ages | FREE

Food historians Bruce Kraig and Cynthia Clampitt of the Culinary Historians of Northern Illinois discuss how the Cold War changed foodways in the United States and the world. The fear of nuclear attack and the belief that an abundance of food would help win the war coupled with the race to space impacted food and thereby every aspect of American lives.

This event is a partner event with the Culinary Historians of Northern Illinois.

Support for this event provided by Arts DuPage and the History DuPage Fund of the DuPage Foundation.
