Hands-on History at The Gables. Every weekend now through August 28

Date: July 2, 2022 @ 10:00 am - July 3, 2022 @ 6:00 pm

Each weekend this summer we invite young (and young at heart!) guests to explore different elements of colonial life through hands-on activities. These drop-in programs will run during regular hours of operation on Saturdays and Sundays and are free with the purchase of admission. The different activities will be scheduled on an eight-week cycle from May 28 through August 28.

Topics include:

  • Colonial Toys
  • Life at Sea
  • Constructing History
  • Quill writing
  • and more!

We hope to see you soon for some hands-on fun!
