The starter of someting good

Families gathered at the Springtown Legends Museum Wednesday, June 24 to learn the traditional process of making bread with sourdough starter.

Museum Coordinator Amy Hedges said the 5,000-year-old practice is a great hands-on activity to help preserve a practical life skill that is becoming less common among younger generations.

“It’s a life skill that’s kind of dying out,” Hedges said. “It’s so easy that small kids could do it and learn from it.”
