The Historical Role of Kitchens

We are always talking about the advancement of kitchens, but nothing proves our point more than the “America’s Kitchen” exhibit, organized by Historic New England.  On display at the Long Island Museum in New York, this exhibit showcases seven different kitchens and the important role they played throughout our history.

According to the NY Times, “The seven kitchens cover most of America’s history: in the earliest days, women cooked over open fires; in the 1950s, a bright blue “show kitchen” was meant to ease their work loads.” Below are some of the kitchens displayed in the exhibit.

Another example on display is the post-World War II kitchen.  These kitchens became a central post for women who could cook while making sure the little ones were playing nicely outside or in the living room.

Historic New England’s pretty much sums it all up when they wrote that, “Although kitchen chores have changed from the multi-tasking of colonial and early nineteenth-century households – cooking, laundering, preserving, making soap and candles, spinning, and minding children – to common activities taking place in kitchen today like paying bills, doing homework, entertaining, and microwaving popcorn, the kitchen remains the “heart of the home.””
