About the event
The Taste of History is a partnership with Military History Preservation Group, Amherst Historical Society and the Lorain County Visitors Bureau. A unique public display timeline event with a beautiful historic backdrop and a fun spin
- focusing on the food and rations that fed soldiers across all eras, as well as civilian home front and camp follower displays. The Taste of History 2024 had over 200 reenactors and over 3,500 attendees, and more are expected in 2025!
All eras are welcome, friend and foe alike. We want to provide the public with a window into the life of the average soldier, and one of the best ways to connect is through food. Field kitchens of various eras will be competing and offering samples of period meals to all attendees.
Besides field kitchens, static displays and firing or tactical demonstrations are welcome from all eras! We will also have military surplus and historical vendors, so you can shop for a piece of history to add to your collection.
In the spirit of fun, awards will be presented Saturday for Best Display, Reenactors’ Choice Display, People’s Choice Food Award, Best Taste, and Best Overall Kitchen.
