Chesterwood presents "The Patriots Table: A Culinary Journey Through American History" on the Studio Piazza overlooking Monument Mountain, a first-of-its-kind immersive dinner inspired by Abraham Lincoln's inaugural banquet. Chef James Gop, Heirloom Fire, and Taylored & Thyme collaborate on a theatrical open-fire meal that blends culinary artistry, historical reenactment, and elevated ambiance, inviting guests to step into a story of American identity told through food, fire, and Lincoln's legacy.
Chesterwood was the summer home and studio of sculptor Daniel Chester French, best known for the Lincoln Memorial statue in Washington, D.C.—meaning this dinner unfolds on the actual grounds where the artist behind the country's most famous image of Lincoln once worked.
$295 per person; limited to 50 guests per seating.
