This is a discussion on the archaeology, history and ethnobotany of the chili pepper plant. From ancient Mesoamerica, to the American Southwest, and as far as Europe and East Asia, chili peppers have been an essential ingredient to the cuisine of many cultures.

For safety reasons occupancy in Carr House is limited to 49 people. In the past, the audiences for some popular programs have exceeded that number. Please arrive early to be sure you get a seat as additional visitors over the limit will not be admitted while the program is going on. Overflow guests will be invited to watch a live stream of the program at our outside picnic area.

Carr House is located on Carr Canyon Road, 2.1 miles from its intersection with Highway 92.
