Topics include genealogy, local history, antique collecting and crafts. The program has been provided, by the Society, for several generations of local students, since the early 1970s. Designed to teach students about colonial life and the lifestyle of children of that era, the program is conducted by the Education Director, assisted by trained volunteers. All activities are integrated with appropriate historic information. For instance, while preparing corn bread in the kitchen, we demonstrate the utensils of the colonial era.
Students bring their own lunches and drinks.
The corn bread and apple pies are served during their meal. Each class must be accompanied by its teacher and 2-4 parents. The Society will be represented by the Education Director and Curator. The class should be divided into four groups before reaching the house. Parents or teachers should be assigned to each group.
