Lunch and Learn: A Culinary History of The Great Black Swamp In-Person
The cultural and physical landscape of the Great Black Swamp is a monument to the hardship and perseverance of the people who drained and settled the region. They transformed densely forested wetlands into one of the most productive agricultural areas in the nation. Commercial crops of corn, soy, tomatoes and wheat are dominant in the fertile loam of southeastern Michigan, northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. However, each immigrant group calling this place home brought its own culinary traditions--from pickled eggs to peanut butter pie. Author Dr. Nathan Crook explores the landscape, history, culture and representative cuisines that make eating here a unique and memorable experience.
