Description
Throughout history, the dining table has reflected social divisions. During the Gilded Age (post–Civil War to 1900), extravagant meals and elaborate multi-course menus highlighted the contrast between the haves and the have-nots. This program explores how tables were set to impress, the foods that graced them, and the etiquette expected of diners. Join us for a glimpse into the dining customs and cultural signals that defined the Gilded Age in Missouri.
