The General Henry Knox Museum
THOMASTON — Great Midcoast food was no stranger to the Knox Museum in Thomaston October 8 at the popular Taste of Thomaston. For the first time, the event was held inside the museum. Held in 2013 and 2014 the event took 2015 off and was back in all its elegance for 2016, with 35 Midcoast vendors offering samples of their food and drink.
"We lucked out; it's a beautiful fall day,” said Knox Museum Executive Director Tobin Malone. “The inside of the mansion looks terrific and we have 35 wonderful vendors, products, chefs, food providers, farmers, brewers and distillers. The building looks great and we are really trying to showcase it as a place for weddings and Christmas parties and I think we've succeeded in doing that very well."
Molly Kellogg, a board member for the museum said: "It's all these wonderful vendors from the Midcoast area. We had it two years in a row, but 2014 was the last time we held it. And we decided to hold it this year inside the museum rather then a big tent outside."
Moving inside was a great idea. The mansion looked wonderful and elegant as it should have been.
Fred Kellogg noted that the beef tenderloin prepared by French & Brawn and cooked by Todd Anderson was a picture-perfect example of what would be served at the General's table.
“The meat is excellent," he said. "And it would not be unlike the very same cut of meat and prepared the same as it would in the time of General Henry Knox."
Mary Murphy, of Woods Hole, Mass., brought oysters from her Sippiwissett Oyster Farm, on the cape to be part of the Taste of Thomaston event. She qualified as the vendor who traveled the furthest to be at the event.
