This program will focus on the beliefs of the Lenape Native Americans who inhabited New Jersey at the time the first European settlers arrived.  The presenters will explain the significance of medicine pouches and the special items that the wearer of the pouch might put inside. 

Children will make their own pouches out of leather and decorate them. Also included are tours of the restored 1740 farmhouse.  Members of the cooking committee will demonstrate the skills used in 18th century open-hearth cooking, using authentic recipes and seasonal foods.
