Step Back in Time
Celebrate our nation’s Semi-quincentennial with interactive programs that bring history to life:

May 22 or 23: Revolutionary War Times
Discover daily life during the Revolutionary War through hands-on activities like military drills, decoding secret ciphers, crafting a tricorn or Hessian hat, creating a whirligig toy, and designing a Memorial Day remembrance ribbon.

October 2 or 3: Colonial Times
Experience Colonial-era living by playing traditional games, trying laundry with a washboard and tub, churning butter, and making take-home crafts like rag dolls and cup-and-ball games.

Each session also includes a themed scavenger hunt, coloring station, and a cozy reading nook.
