| Key Ingredients is from the Museum on Main Street (MOMS), a partnership of the Smithsonian Institute and the Federation of State Humanities Councils. With photographs, illustrations, and artifacts, it explores the connections between Americans and food via the historical, regional, and social traditions of everyday meals and celebrations. In addition to farming, table manners, history, and markets, the exhibition also examines the evolution of the kitchen, the technological innovations that bring us a wide variety of prepared and fresh foods, and the role of public eateries and food celebrations in building a sense of community. |

"We are excited to host a Smithsonian exhibit in our
new building. This will be an excellent opportunity to showcase Calvert County's history of farmers and watermen as our economic base and our "key ingredient" providers. Come one, come all to this wonderful exhibit."
~ Patricia Hofmann, Director, Calvert Library
