Day at The Castle
Tour the museum, cook like a pioneer, create an old timey craft, and learn the pastimes of long ago. This is a participatory, hands-on program that teaches how food was obtained, prepared, preserved, and cooked in the nineteenth century. Participants help fix a rustic stew, cornbread, and applesauce cake that is cooked in our fireplace and then served as the midday meal for the group. Groups have the chance to choose from craft activities of leatherwork, pottery, paper weaving, paper quilt, whirligig, thaumotrope, and poppies. We also include indoor and/or outdoor (weather permitting) Victorian pastimes (aka games) for this program.
Timeframe: 4 hours // Availability: September through April; begins at 10 AM
