Midwest cooking might seem quite ordinary at first, but a closer look reveals how it reflects our cultural history. Now the Wood County Historical Society, Bowling Green Convention & Visitors Bureau and the American Culture Studies Department of Bowling Green State University have teamed up to present the Bowling Green Culinary Tourism Trail, a guide to exploratory eating in Bowling Green Ohio.
Sauerkraut, walleye, applebutter, corn and even a shredded chicken sandwich are all place-based foods tied to the history and culture of Wood County in northwestern Ohio.
In the early 19th century when settlers came to the area, they would not have believed that the Great Black Swamp they encountered would one day give way to some of the richest farmland in the nation.
Pick up a copy of the Culinary Tourism Trail at the Wood County Historical Center and Museum, 13660 County Home Road in Bowling Green, Ohio, and then take your own culinary food tour to see how a taste of food provides a taste of place.
The Wood County Historical Center & Museum chronicles the history of the county from the days when the Ottawa, Shawnee and Miami Indian tribes called this region home. Housed in the former Wood County Infirmary the museum's exhibits highlight the area in the years before the first settler, Elisha Martindale claimed the land in 1832.
Upcoming events sponsored by the Wood County Historical Center include an Herb Garden Brunch and Tour on Thursday, August 14, at 10 a.m., a Curator's Moonlight Tour on Friday, August 15, at 9 p.m. and a History Day Celebration on Sunday, August 24, 2008.
