See the full schedule of events below:
September 22: School and Fun
What would your school and social life been like if you lived during the Federal Period? Students will learn about the homeschool routine of children 200 years ago, as well as what they would have done for fun outside of their lessons.
October 20: Art at Dumbarton
Students will study art pieces in the house to better understand artistic tools, mediums, and techniques. Students will also create their own still life drawings using different artistic mediums.
December 1: Winter Warmth
Students will compare and contrast their experience of winter weather and the Christmas holiday with that of the Nourse family. Each student will make their own gingerbread house to take home.
February 9: Love Letter
Students will learn how families communicated across long distances 200 years ago and use a quill pen to create their own love letter.
April 20: Bygone Games
With a scavenger hunt, students will tour the museum to learn what life would have been like for children. Participants will also learn and play period games, and make their own toy to take home.
