Fireplace Dinners
Adam and I are historical reenactors, and I have done fireplace cooking for a number of years.
We open our home, a restored 18th century cape furnished entirely in period antiques, for private parties of 6 to 8 people, for hearth cooked suppers.
We welcome you dressed in authentic 18th c. style clothing. Sit on 250 year old chairs, at a 300 year old table, and sip shrub as you watch us prepare a sumptuous meal for your party, in the fireplace, by the light of candle chandeliers.
Hearth cooked dinners must be booked well in advance, and are offered only October through April.
There is a 6 person minimum.
Fees: $50.00 per person, plus the cost of the food.
I work with each individual party to create a menu perfect for your gathering.
Murals/Wall Aging Services
As “The Itinerant Limner”, I paint historically correct, Rufus Porter style wall murals. I also do wall aging. I am the ORIGINAL wall ager! I developed my own process, and did the walls in my own home, which was featured in Early American Life magazine in 2002. My work has also been featured on the front page of the Concord (N.H.) Monitor newspaper, and in several other publications. I painted the wall murals in the historic Grace Fletcher House in Hopkinton, N.H.
Often imitated, but NEVER DUPLICATED, call me for the ORIGINAL, warm, country look you want. I have a portfolio available for viewing, and reasonable rates.
Adam and Mary are both artists who collaborate, and together paint custom ordered fireboards, and “dummy boards”, (also known as “silent companions”), for clients.
This is a photograph of a fireboard we recently painted and delivered to a customer. We ship everywhere, and would be happy to do custom work for you. Contact us, and we will work with you to create a one-of-a-kind treasure for your home.
