First published in 1879, Housekeeping in Old Virginia is a foundational work of American domestic and culinary history. Compiled by Marion Cabell Tyree from the practices of more than 250 Virginia housekeepers, it documents traditional Southern cooking, household management, medicinal remedies, and domestic customs of the 19th century.

This 1965 Favorite Recipes Press edition is a faithful facsimile of the original, preserving the historic typography, layout, and voice of the period while offering a durable mid-century binding. The striking gilt-stamped cover makes it especially appealing for collectors, culinary historians, and those drawn to beautifully produced vintage books.

A classic reference work and an elegant shelf piece, prized for its insight into women’s domestic life and regional American history.

Collector note: Early facsimile editions like this Favorite Recipes Press printing are valued for preserving original 19th-century design while offering greater usability than the scarce 1879 first edition.
