About this Event

What did kids do to pass the time in the 1700s? The Hands-on History Day Drop-In Center offers an opportunity for your family to delve into that history in an interactive way. This drop-in 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. All members of the family can participate in these activities together!

Historical Society of Cheshire County Members- Contact Michelle Walker, Director of Education ([email protected]), for a code to receive $2 off your registration!

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