Johnnycakes and homemade breads lead off the menu at the 41st
Annual May Breakfast on Sunday, May 4, 2014,
at the Smith-Appleby House Museum in Smithfield, RI.
At the event, educators and history enthusiasts in Colonial dress
will treat guests at the historic 18th century home to a homemade annual
May breakfast of various berry breads, chilled fruit cup, Johnnycakes, omelet, bacon & Grandma’s old
fashioned baked beans, coffee & orange juice.
After the breakfast, visitors are invited to tour the rooms and
exhibits of the House, which dates to 1696. It was built by Elisha Smith, the
grandson of John Smith “The Miller,” a member of Roger Williams’ original party
of six men who left the Massachusetts Bay Colony to settle in Providence.
Expanded from its original construction as a one-room stone-ender cottage, the
delicately restored 12-room historic farmhouse features beautiful cabinet work,
varied architectural designs, original stencils, and furnished rooms showcasing
an intriguing collection of antiques.
