Celebrating Francis Marion Smith with our first Kettle Clambake

Francis “Borax” Smith, the builder of the original log cabin on Cedar Island, enjoyed traditional clambakes on the Island with his family and friends in the early 1900s. His granddaughter and her husband were on Taylor's Island as part of this year's celebration.

The traditional method of cooking the clambake on hot rocks has a modern twist on Taylor's Island these days.The ingredients in the bake are all steamed together in a giant stainless steel kettle.
