Make Your Own Birdfeeder!

Unleash your inner child (or your actual child!) in this hands-on demonstration of 18th-century children’s activities. Tom Hunt will introduce period-correct reproductions of toys and games and briefly discuss a child’s place in the household and colonial society. Participants are encouraged to play with all toys and games – including whirly-gigs, ball & cup, game of goose, nine pins, bilbo catchers, Nine Men’s Morris, and more. The program will take place in the art gallery at the Visitor’s Center. Masks are encouraged. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Suggested for ages 8+.
