Continuing to honor West Virginia’s 155th Birthday the Harrison County’s Progressive Women’s Association hosted a special six course pop-up dinner Wednesday.

Food was prepared by Chef Mike Costello and Amy Dawson of Lost Creek Farm featuring traditional dishes such as salt risen bread, trout, apple butter, and heirloom pickles to name a few. The Harrison County West Virginia Historical Society says the state has a lot of unique food traditions.

“And how we feel about food is a great unifier, it brings people together, and so any culture whether it be in West Virginia, whether it be across the world everybody has this connection over food and family,” said Crystal Wimer, Executive Director of the Harrison County West Virginia Historical Society.

The Harrison County West Virginia Historical Society wanted to do something to honor the states birth, and with such rich food traditions being a part of West Virginia’s culture giving tribute to that piece of history.

“We’re a 155 year old state, June 20, 1863 born out of rebellion. Our area has always been unique, we’ve always been kind of ground breaking and revolutionary, and it’s good to just remind ourselves of that,” said Wimer.

Harrison County West Virginia Historical Society says they are excited to be able to offer the pop-up dinner with Lost Creek Farm, and hopes to be able to host future pop-up dinner events.
