Enjoy a rustic farm to table dining experience at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum
Fort Nisqually
Tickets are on sale now for the third annual Dine We Must dinner, featuring northwest cuisine, drinks, entertainment and Victorian finery
Inspired by the spirit of fine Victorian dining, the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum invites guests to the third annual Dine We Must dinner on Friday, June 27 at 6 p.m. This stunning farm-to-table meal hosted on the museum’s lawn is a perfect night out in Tacoma’s Point Defiance as the park eases into summer.
Isabelle Beaton, an influential British author, columnist and chef in the 1800s put it best when she said, “Dine we must, and we may as well dine elegantly as well as wholesomely.”
Historic interpreters in full dress and character will welcome arriving guests to 1855 with an invitation to view the Fort’s historic buildings, enjoy appetizers and beverages, and socialize with one another. The menu for dinner features northwest cuisine prepared by Table 47, accompanied by live music from the Fort’s music guild and a surprise visit from Richard and Emma Thornhill.
Thornhill was a cook at Fort Nisqually in the 1850s and both he and Emma were known for their colorful personalities and demeanors. The evening concludes with a sampling of desserts made in the Fort’s period-accurate kitchen by our wonderfully talented volunteers.
Space is limited, so don’t wait to save your spot!
