SUGAR AND SPICE: GINGERBREAD HISTORY In early America, ginger was considered a sign of wealth because it had to be imported.
Not until after Christmas became a national holiday in 1870 did gingerbread become associated with American celebrations of Christmas.
Chase down the story of the gingerbread man and his ancestors with Clara Silverstein of Historic Newton.
The talk is part of the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s Gingerbread Open House from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. View the magical display of gingerbread houses and creations of some of Greater Boston's finest bakeries and caterers.
Kids are welcome to try decorating a gingerbread cookie of their own.
Visit the vendor hall and start (or finish!) your holiday shopping.
