Description

Children can experience writing with a quill pen and try 18th-century games such as rolling hoops, cup & ball, stilts and quoits.

And they will learn about the role of youngsters on the frontier, trying their hands at the types of domestic chores required of children, such as beating rugs and washing clothes in a tub with a washboard. Who says learning can't be fun???

The children always enjoy performances by Bob the Juggler and story telling by Robert. New for 2024, we will have 18th century dance lessons for the children and a fiddler performance.
