Step back in time and experience the "Dog Days of Summer” as they were in the 1930s!
Join us for a hands-on, family-friendly day at the Scolnik House of the Depression Era from 11 AM to 3 PM.
Discover how families kept cool and carried on during the hottest days of summer in the 1930s through interactive crafts, live demonstrations, and engaging activities for all ages. Try your hand at wash tub laundry, sewing cards, gardening, darning, and more!
Admission to the Scolnik House is just $5 per person, with children 0-2 years old free. We can’t wait to explore history with you!
When you arrive, check in at the City Barn (carriage house) behind the Hackley and Hume Historic Site. Free parking is available on Webster Avenue and 6th Street.
