Wethersfield Historical Society and Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum team up to bring an exciting array of activities for the whole family to enjoy 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Stop by the reception desk of Keeney Memorial Cultural Center and pick up a scavenger hunt for children. Search through the "Legendary People, Ordinary Lives" exhibit at the Keeney Center, the "American Girlhood" and "Remember the Ladies" exhibits at the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum to find scavenger hunt objects and images. Present your completed scavenger hunt at the welcome desk of the Webb-Deane-Stevens Visitors Center to receive a reward.
Take a break from all the action and excitement outdoors and relax in the Rotary Room of the Keeney Center. Coloring sheets of Wethersfield houses are available in this quieter space all day.
At 10:00 am, Wethersfield Historical Society volunteer research librarian Martha Smart offers her popular 90-minute tour of the Ancient Burying Ground. Meet Martha at the red barn beside First Church’s parking lot and learn about the history of those buried in the Ancient Burying Ground and Village Cemetery, the final resting place for Wethersfield residents for over 300 years. A suggested donation of $10 (cash or check payable to Wethersfield Historical Society) is requested from non-members. Members receive free admission. This tour may be cancelled or postponed due to inclement weather. Pre-registration is not required.
The historic Hurlbut-Dunham House (212 Main Street, Wethersfield) will be open for free guided tours from 10am to 4pm. Tours of the Cove Warehouse will also be available from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
All activities are free and open to the public. As always, donations are gratefully accepted.
