Join Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion for hot dogs, ice cream, and potato chips (a Victorian invention!) in the magnificent Maxwell garden.

Food historian Lynne Olver says middle-class Victorians picnicked on a tablecloth or bedspread like we do today. "The wealthier you were, the higher you dined," she says.[/caption] Victorians loved nature (sometimes from a distance) and revelled in outdoor dining.  Join EMM for food and fun on Saturday, September 14 from 12-5.
