February 10, 2024 – From Milk… To Butter & Cheese

Milk still comes from cows, but transforming it into butter or cheese is a little easier in the 21st century. Our museum teachers will demonstrate how to churn butter by hand… and demonstrate how cheese was made on the Webster Farm in the 18th-century. If you’d like to pitch in, we are happy to show you how! Dairy samples will be available for tasting.
