Kitchen gardens were commonly found in Harpers Ferry`s mid-nineteenth century backyards.  Local families "put up" or preserved their own foods for long term storage in an era when tin canned foods were becoming more widely available on national and international markets. Join the living history staff and volunteers at Roeder`s Confectionery as they demonstrate the differences between tin can and glass preserved foods.  Visitors are invited to examine Victorian food preservation methods and containers.
