$Special Cooking with the First Ladies: Women\u2019s History Month Program$

Join us for a delicious evening exploring the lesser-known heroes of World War II: the women of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
About this Event

Step back in time to explore the unique stories of the women of the Manhattan Project, including the Calutron Girls, who worked in the “Secret City” of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with no knowledge of the impact they would have on World War II. This Women’s History Month program will shine a spotlight on these women’s contributions, complemented by insights into First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt and Bess Truman, who helped guide the nation during this pivotal era. Participants will receive exclusive recipes from the wartime Oak Ridge cookbook Cooking Behind The Fence and a few favorites from the First Ladies of the 1940s.

Sarah Morgan, a historian with a passion for culinary history, will lead this engaging event. Known for her “Cooking with the First Ladies” content, Sarah brings history to life through the dishes of America’s past. Don’t miss this special session filled with stories of resilience, patriotism, and recipes that fueled a generation.
