Enjoy a delicious hearth-cooked meal, prepared with your own hands, in the historic Wade House stagecoach hotel. You'll prepare unique 19th-century dishes on a wood-burning stove and over an open hearth fire just as Betsey Wade did more than 150 years ago. This event culminates in a wonderful sit-down, family-style meal in the lovely Wade House dining room.
This meal's theme is German menu and includes potato leek soup, sauerbraten (spiced beef roast), spaetzle (German noodles), Dutch beans/carrots, Pennsylvania style sauerkraut, apple bread and krummkake (sour cream coffee cake).
Cost: $75/person.
