Peas in a Pod (Ages 4 +)

Make Some Music (Ages 7 – 9)
Choirs, Flutes, Violins, Oh my! When you can’t buy recorded music, you have to make your own. Join us to craft a simple flute and learn songs that made toes tap 200 years ago.
Switchel – A Historic Sports Drink (Ages 10+)
Learn how to beat the heat with a historic summer beverage – SWITCHEL! This concoction was a favorite for our early American farmers. It’s sweet, tangy, and refreshing – it’s the Gatorade of the 1790s! Learn how to make your own switchel using an authentic 18th century recipe and our very own farm-fresh ingredients!
Session 2: 11:00 – 12:00 p.m.

Game Time (Ages 7 – 9)
Children on the farm worked hard, but when the chores were done it was game time! Which games do you love to play? Join us to learn about how games have changed over time, and which of your favorite games might have been played right here on this farm more than 200 years ago. Try out some new games that we don’t always have out at the farm.
