NJ Weekend Nov 6&7: Native American Events and more!
This weekend's abundance of Native-American Indian programs for kids is a hint that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Kids can learn all about the Lenape Indians and take home some fun Indian crafts from events at the Morris Museum, the Museum of Early Crafts and Trades and the Miller Cory House. For those who want to brave the brisk outdoors, there is a night dig for fluorescent minerals at the Franklin Mineral Museum and both a toddler and big kid tour at Watchung Stables. Finally, there are some fun shows you won't want to miss this weekend. Strega Nona is playing at the NJPAC and you can even attend a pre-show workshop. Older kids may enjoy Mad Science's CSI LIVE! at the Bergen PAC.
