Cooking in the Kitchen & Quarter

 Sunday, June 21st, 2026 :: 10:00am - 4:00pm
 Barrington Living History Farm

Enslaved women and men, such as Mary, Jerry, Willis, Amy, and Charity, were an integral part of the full story of Barrington. Start your experience behind the Jones Home in the bustle of a busy plantation kitchen and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of a hearth cooked meal being prepared. Journey to the other side of the plantation and learn what foods Mary, Jerry, or Willis would prepare for themselves in the Quarter. Contact us at Barrington-Plantation@thc.texas.gov or 936-878-2214 x248 for more information.
