The Haddam Historical Society is pleased to announce its 14th annual summer program, “A Week in the Life of an Early American Child,” offered for girls and boys ages 8-12. This year the program will take place Tuesday, June 18 – Friday, June 21, 2019.
Students will travel back in time to the year 1830 and spend the week with Mrs. Thankful Arnold and her family. All activities take place at the Thankful Arnold House Museum in Haddam, and they include caring for farm animals; carding, spinning and felting wool; creating a wooden board game; making butter; baking; playing with Colonial toys and games, and even dancing! The fee is $139 for the four days with all materials and snacks included. Some scholarship funding is available. The first three days, Tues June 18, Wed June 19 and Thurs June 20, will be half-day sessions (9 am to noon). Friday June 21 will be a full day session (9 am to 3 pm).
