SUMMARY:2024 Lecture Series: "Appalachia on the Table: Reading a Region's Cuisine with Erica Abrams Locklear"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Frontier Culture Museum for our 2024 Lecture Series. The first installment of the 2024 Lecture Series will take place on March 12\, 2024 at 7:00 PM. The Lecture Series is free and open to the public. \nWhen her mother passed along a cookbook made and assembled by her grandmother\, Erica Abrams Locklear thought she knew what to expect. But rather than finding a homemade cookbook full of apple stack cake\, leather britches\, pickled watermelon\, or other “traditional” mountain recipes\, Locklear was surprised to discover recipes for devil’s food cake with coconut icing\, grape catsup\, and fig pickles. Some recipes even relied on food products like Bisquick\, Swans Down flour\, and Calumet baking powder. But why was that surprising? \nIn this talk\, Professor Abrams Locklear draws from her new book\, Appalachia on the Table\, to explore where her—and the nation’s—Appalachian food script came from. In her talk she will focus on the representations of foods consumed\, implied moral judgments about those foods\, and how those judgments shape reader perceptions of those depicted. The question at the core of Locklear’s analysis asks\, How did the dominant culinary narrative of the region come into existence and what consequences has that narrative had for people in the mountains? One aspect of her talk will feature archival materials from Appalachian Virginia that demonstrate long standing culinary knowhow\, despite century-old narratives that suggest otherwise. \n  \nMeet the speaker: \nErica Abrams Locklear is a professor of English and the Thomas Howerton Distinguished Professor of Humanities at the University of North Carolina Asheville. She is the author of Appalachia on the Table: Representing Mountain Food and People (University of Georgia Press) and Negotiating a Perilous Empowerment: Appalachian Women’s Literacies (Ohio University Press)\, as well as various essays about the South\, Appalachia\, literature\, and food. She is a seventh-generation Western North Carolinian who loves good food\, books\, and conversation. \n  \nThe Book Dragon Bookshop will be onsite to sell copies of the book discussed during the lecture. Books will be able to be purchased with cash or card.

SUMMARY:2024 Lecture Series: "The Rise of Slavery in the Valley of Virginia and its Enduring Presence on the Landscape of Lexington and Rockbridge County"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Frontier Culture Museum for our 2024 Lecture Series. The second installment of the 2024 Lecture Series will take place on March 19\, 2024 at 7:00 PM in the Dairy Barn Lecture Hall. The Lecture Series is free and open to the public. \nThe Scotch-Irish immigrants who first colonized Rockbridge County initially eschewed the institution of slavery. After the American Revolution\, however\, they built a society reliant on the enslavement of African Americans. Over the next eight decades\, an elite class of citizens established its new American identity through economic\, social\, and symbolic associations with Chesapeake plantation society. Archibald Alexander (1708-1780)\, his son William (1738-1797)\, and his grandson Andrew (1768-1844) exemplified this transformation. Eventually\, Andrew’s granddaughter Mary Evelyn Anderson Bruce represented the apotheosis of the Americanization of the Scotch Irish by marrying into the Bruce family of Berry Hill Plantation in South Boston\, one of America’s richest families and largest slave holders. Closely tied to Liberty Hall Academy and its successor Washington College\, Andrew himself held almost thirty African Americans in bondage over his lifetime at his plantation on the former school campus. In addition to the usual agricultural pursuits of plantation owners\, Andrew periodically hired out enslaved people to industrialists and exploited their labor himself on both public and private infrastructure projects. Today\, these manifestations of enslaved labor are abundantly present on the Rockbridge County landscape\, though often they are not recognized as such. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nDon Gaylord is the Research Archaeologist and an Instructor of Anthropology at Washington and Lee University. After six years in the United States Navy as a nuclear Reactor Operator\, Don shifted gears to anthropological archaeology and worked in the Williamsburg\, VA area for several years. While in graduate school at the University of Virginia\, he began work as an archaeologist at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello where he worked for thirteen years. He has been at Washington and Lee for eleven years\, where he teaches courses in anthropology\, archaeology\, and history.

SUMMARY:2024 Lecture Series: "Beyond the Mountains\, the Sun: The (In)Visibility of First Peoples and the Creation of the Back Country"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Frontier Culture Museum for our 2024 Lecture Series. The third installment of the 2024 Lecture Series will take place on March 26\, 2024 at 7:00 PM in the Dairy Barn Lecture Hall. Our speaker for this installment is Dr. Carole Nash and her lecture is “Beyond the Mountains\, the Sun: The (In)Visibility of First Peoples and the Creation of the Back Country.” The Lecture Series is free and open to the public. \nHistories of the colonial settlement of the Virginia interior are remarkably silent about the communities of First Peoples whose ancestors occupied the mountains and valleys for millennia. The very notion of the ‘back country’ or ‘frontier’ that is quintessentially American may depend on their invisibility. This presentation considers both why historians omitted Native people from these histories and the continued impacts of erasure on the contemporary Indigenous communities of western Virginia. In this case\, the process of reclaiming history involves archaeology\, archival research\, oral tradition guided by Indigenous partnerships. While the Virginia interior story is unique because of its unusual geography and location as a cultural crossroads\, Indigenous erasure as a colonial practice frames the telling of Native histories in many Eastern Woodland settings. As we learn more about the complexity and interconnectedness of First Peoples’ communities here\, we come to the topic with new eyes that show us a different vision of the interior. \nMeet the Speaker \nCarole Nash\, Ph.D.\, RPA\, is Professor in the School of Integrated Sciences\, James Madison University\, where she has taught for 35 years. Her research focuses on the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Valley\, specializing in First Peoples archaeology and historical ecology. She is the author of many technical reports\, scholarly papers\, and publications\, including co-author of Foundations of Archaeology in the Middle Atlantic. She is President of Mountain Valley Archaeology which partners with descendant communities on archaeological and historical research in western Virginia. She directs the Virginia Archaeological Certification Program\, a citizen science initiative that partners professional and avocational archaeologists.
