“ Hosting a Smithsonian traveling exhibit is a great opportunity
for both Chelsea and our new library,” stated Metta Lansdale,
the former Director of the Chelsea District Library. “Chelsea
has a great agricultural heritage and we hold one of the longest
running and largest community fairs. We plan to make this a big
part of our programming. We also plan to celebrate our community’s
connection to Chelsea Milling (of Jiffy Mix fame) and The Common
Grill, which has quickly become one of Southeastern Michigan’s
most highly rated restaurants. I am thrilled that the library is
able to bring this exhibit and the national recognition that will
accompany it to Chelsea.” |

“Frankenmuth is very excited and proud to be the recipient
of the Key Ingredients and the Michigan Foodways exhibits,”
stated Sally Van Ness, the former Director of the Frankenmuth
Historical Association. “Frankenmuth is the perfect town
for this exhibit. When the settlers came to Frankenmuth from Germany,
there was little they could bring with them; however they brought
their customs, their language and their wonderful cooking. This
town was built on these three things—the wonderful German
cooking still remains high priority whether you’re dining
out or in the home. The two main restaurants, which continue to
remain in the same family, continue to serve the family style
‘all you can eat’ chicken dinners. They continue to
strive for innovative methods to produce and are proud to maintain
the traditional homemade tastes. This entire community will share
in this event as we are all proud to be able to show off our cooking
tradition talents.” |

eager to share Dundee’s food history, especially our Native
