discovering our history in cookbooks and recipes

Our community's amazing history is all around us. It is evident in our landmark buildings, our well preserved photographs and documents, and even in the simplest of objects. We become like historical detectives when we begin the process of revealing the stories behind the history of Neenah. The Presbyterian Women's Cookbook, published in 1908, is a perfect example of how when historical artifacts are discovered, it is up to us to extract the story out of them. The many women who contributed to the creation of this cookbook have stories to tell. We invite you to discover a little bit about those women--when and how they lived, and the remarkable ways they created a true sense of community for all of us
