The Arizona Humanities Council is sponsoring Key Ingredients: America by Food, a Smithsonian Museum on Main Streets Traveling Exhibition that explores the ways in which history, tradition and culture have shaped the way Americans enjoy food. We're delighted to be one of six Arizona sites selected to host this exciting event.

Join in the Fun Now...

More than an exhibition, this is an amazing opportunity to strengthen the ties of our Tri-Community by celebrating the history of our local and national food traditions. Activities and programs will include:

  • Community-wide food celebration
  • Tri-community cookbook of family recipes
  • Talks and workshops, in partnership with local organizations
  • Kids pie bake-off (instruction/supervision provided)
  • Companion exhibit on local food history
  • Area food business promotional events

Recipes and Photos

We'd love to include your family recipes and family food photos in/on our cookbook, website and companion local food exhibit. With your permission, we'll share the recipes, images and stories we collect with the Arizona Humanities Council and through them the Smithsonian.

Mail your recipes and photos (digital or photo reproductions) along with a signed Release Form (download either the PDF or WORD version) to: OHS – KI, POB 10, Oracle AZ 85623. If you have questions, please call 520-896-9609 or email us at oraclehistoricalsociety at gmail.com.
