The THEN
AND NOW program is designed for the littlest, most curious minds and can be easily
adapted for 5, 6, and 7 years old students. The program is divided
into three 20 minute sessions.
Session I: Tour of the Herb Garden with show and tell of fresh, fragrant medicinal herbs
Session II: Tour of the Colonial Kitchen with emphasis on differences between the modern and the ancient. Reproduction artifacts passed around
Session III: Hands-On activities where students dress in colonial clothing, may make hornbooks, write with quill pens, card wool, or paint.
Admission is $3.00 per child. Teachers are free. Adult chaperones are $5.50. This program is designed to teach children the differences between modern and colonial life while giving them some hands on experiences with authentic reproduction artifacts. Offered from 10:00 am - 4: 00 pm.
With
the COLONIAL ADVENTURE TOUR,
for 3rd - 5th graders, students
step back in time as they learn about the lives of
men, women, and children living in Maryland during the 1770s. The tour is
divided into two 45 minute sessions. In one session, students tour the
colonial mansion and learn the basics about colonial life and history through an
open dialogue, question and answer session with our expert guides. In part
two, students touch and make many of the things they have seen in the
house. Through the use of reproduction artifacts and imaginative,
interactive games, students get a direct sense of what it would have been like
to be an artist, a furniture maker, a gentry man, a gentry lady, a servant, and
more. The hands-on session, in the one-time colonial wine cellar, allows
children to . . .
Make a Tussie-Mussie
,
write with quill pens, play
with colonial toys, paint a life-size replica of an 18th century portrait,
play with colonial cards, build a replica brick wall, card
wool, create a Sampler, experiment with furniture, etc.
Admission is $3.00 per child. Teachers are free. Please, two adults per 10 children, maximum. Program includes 40-45 minute hands-on activities and 40-45 minute "question and answer" tour of the house! Available 10:00 - 4:00, weekdays and summer. This is a smart program for Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Homeschoolers too! Participants may even purchase a colonial "Fun Pack" to take home at an additional cost of $1.00 per child.
