Since 2015, the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum has emphasized the importance of telling a complete history of our site, including the farmhouse’s history as a site of enslavement. In 2023, we hired a research consultant, Ramin Ganeshram, to dive deeper into this history. Ramin searched through archives to continue our research on enslavement, with a primary focus on culinary history, colonial kitchens, and Lenape influences on cooking in the 18th century. In this talk, attendees will hear about the discoveries made during this project.

In addition, attendees will hear from the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s Executive Director, Melissa Kiewiet, about how the museum plans to use this research. Melissa will discuss the museum’s reinterpretation plans, beginning with a new exhibition in our basement kitchen that uses Ramin’s new research.

This program is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, through the DutchCulture USA FUTURE 400 program of the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York.

Desde 2015, el Dyckman Farmhouse Museum ha enfatizado la importancia de contar una historia completa de nuestro sitio, incluida la historia de la granja como un lugar de esclavitud. En 2023, contratamos a un consultor de investigación, Ramin Ganeshram, para profundizar en esta historia. Ramin buscó en los archivos para continuar nuestra investigación sobre la esclavitud, con un enfoque principal en la historia culinaria, las cocinas coloniales y las influencias lenape en la cocina del siglo XVIII. En esta charla, los asistentes escucharán sobre los descubrimientos realizados durante este proyecto.

Además, los asistentes escucharán a la Directora Ejecutiva del Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, Melissa Kiewiet, sobre cómo el museo planea usar esta investigación. Melissa hablara sobre los planes de reinterpretación del museo, comenzando con una nueva exhibición en nuestra cocina del sótano que utiliza la nueva investigación de Ramin.
