Learn the art of dutch oven cooking with Wilbur Johnson on Saturday, July 13 at the Homestead Education Center. The program begins at 7 p.m. Johnson has practiced dutch oven cooking for decades and has been a regular demonstrator at Homestead National Monument of America’s annual Homestead Days. He will demonstrate for visitors how to make a meal and is more than happy to share recipes!
