The Smithsonian developed Key Ingredients as part of its Museum on Main Street (MOMS) program especially for rural audiences and small organizations that otherwise might not have access to traveling exhibits.

Museum on Main Street is a partnership of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and state humanities councils that serves the small town museums and audiences of rural America. Museum on Main Street is 10 years old, having developed from a cooperative national study of 100 rural cultural organizations and their specific needs and preferences, specifically their severe budget and space constraints. Museum on Main Street combines the cachet of the Smithsonian’s name with the program expertise of state humanities councils and the unbridled enthusiasm of the residents of small town America. It creates an educational and entertainment experience that is characterized by high quality, innovation, imagination, fun, and popularity. Public reactions to Museum on Main Street exhibitions and its attendant public activities are nothing short of astounding as local organizations and volunteers demonstrate their enthusiasm for a Smithsonian exhibit in their own home town.
