About this Event

What did kids do to pass the time in the 1700s? The Hands-on History Day Camp offers an opportunity for children entering grades 3-5 to delve into that history in an interactive way. This full-day experience, led by Museum Educators, will demonstrate the history of how kids in the colonial era had fun. Participants will play a variety of games from that time, and go home with materials to continue the fun.

Historical Society of Cheshire County Members- Contact Michelle Walker, Director of Education([email protected]), for a code to receive $10 off your registration!

This program has been generously sponsored in part by The Putnam Foundation and Fenton Family Dealerships.
