Museum on Main Street (MoMS) is a cultural project that serves rural America. OHC partners with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) to bring national touring exhibits to small Oklahoma communities.
Current Exhibit - Key Ingredients: America by Food
Key Ingredients explains the little known, the everyday, and the obvious through an entertaining and informative overview of our country's diverse regional cooking and eating traditions. It investigates how culture, ethnicity, landscape and tradition influence foods and flavors we enjoy across the nation. Key Ingredients demonstrates how food on the American table is rooted in centuries of continuous borrowing and sharing between people across generations, across cultures and across the land. In addition, it underscores the contributions made by Native America cultures to our palate and eating habits. It also addresses the entrepreneurial spirit on which many food production industries are based, such as those of food pioneers Heinz, Campbell, and Borden.
Key Ingredients: America by Food is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the Oklahoma Humanities Council.
