Penderlea Homestead Museum Cookbooks make great gifts. 

"Recipes and Remembrances" was featured in the April 2012 issue of Our State magazine.  Frances Murphy and her sister, Betty Murphy Klavins compiled the cookbook for the Museum in 2008.

"Recipes and Remembrances" is a cookbook which was designed to honor the original settlers of the Penderlea Homesteads. It includes recipes and memories contributed by families of those original settlers, members of the present community at large, and special friends and extended families. Proceeds benefit the Penderlea Homestead Museum, a non-profit organization.
