'Baked into Bethlehem' is a celebration of baking across two museums.
Mark Steigelman is the Director of Collections and Programming at Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites as well as the curator of the exhibition. Steigelman says visitors can start their exploration over in the Moravian Museum of Bethlehem to learn "the whole Moravian history of baking.
""We have the bakery section with all sorts of ephemera and machines of baking," he says.It's on loan from Richard Groman, Jr. He's giving tours to share stories about his grandfather's once iconic bakery, where he and his father, Richard Groman, Sr., also worked through the years.A lot of artifacts from the bakery are also on view.The bakery also made a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch items too.Next, is a section on 'Domestic Play,' with ovens for kids, starting in the 1920s. There is also an array of Easy-Bake Ovens from 1963 up until the turn of this last century."This Hoosier cabinet was in my family," says Steigelman. "They were like the cooking center of the kitchen.""We have recipes on those refrigerators with magnets," he says. "And we're also inviting people from the community, bring your recipe and put it on the refrigerator.""People will be able to record their histories of their fond memories of baking as children, family recipes," he says. "And that gets put into the Library of Congress.""There's something for everyone here," he says. "Baked into Bethlehem" is on view through July 26, 2026, at the Kemerer Museum and the Moravian Museum of Bethlehem.
