"A Week in the Life of an Early American Child,"

The Haddam Historical Society is pleased to announce its eighth annual “A Week in the Life of an Early American Child,” a program for girls and boys ages 8-12.  To accommodate the late end to the school year and the July 4th holiday, please note that the dates fall within two weeks.  This year the program will take place from Friday, June 28 to Wednesday, July 3, 2013.

  Students will travel back in time to the year 1830 and spend the week with Mrs. Thankful Arnold.  All activities take place at the Thankful Arnold House Museum in Haddam, and they include caring for farm animals; carding, spinning and felting wool; writing with a quill pen; making butter; baking; playing with Colonial toys and games, and even dancing!

 The fee is $139 for the four days.  June 28, July 1 and July 2 will be half-day sessions (9 am to noon), and July 3 will be a full day session (9 am to 3 pm).  For more information and registration, go to www.haddamhistory.org.  For questions, contact Sarah Neal, Education Coordinator, The Haddam Historical Society, at education@haddamhistory.org or call
