SSAAM Harvest Home Dinner

Saturday November 16, 2024
5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) is pleased to announce its inaugural Harvest Home Dinner, a fundraising event honoring the farming roots of the Stoutsburg Sourland community. This event will take place at the historic Reasoner/True House on Saturday November, 16 2024 from 6-8pm.

SSAAM is Central New Jersey's only museum telling the rich local and regional stories of African Americans from the time of the transatlantic slave trade to the present day. With the support of the Preserving Black Churches grant we are honored to continue this work with this latest event which will feature locally-sourced dishes, live music, and powerful storytelling from descendants of the True family and Mt. Zion AME Church members.

Join us for a special Harvest Home Dinner, honoring African American faith and culture through a toast, a three-course meal, and reflections on faith, food, family, and fortitude. Let's come together to celebrate and invest in our shared history and community.
