August Family Programs at National Heritage Museum

Here are a couple of upcoming kids’ programs at the National Heritage Museum in Lexington:
Come to the Museum bright and early on Tuesday, August 10 for “Clothing, Fashion, and Homespun Politics” from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. This special program features Carrie Midura, historic interpreter and expert seamstress, who will demonstrate colonial fashion and explain the role it played in Lexington’s revolutionary politics. For families with children ages 6 and up. $5/family (non-members); $3/family (members). Meet us in the “Sowing the Seeds of Liberty” gallery. Pre-registration is not necessary.

On Wednesday, August 18, we have an offering for the very young. The “Mornings at the Museum” program will explore “Kids in Colonial Times.” We’ll read a story about how children lived in the 1700s, visit the exhibition “Sowing the Seeds of Liberty,” and make a familiar colonial object. This program starts promptly at 10:30 a.m., please arrive by 10:15. The program is designed for children ages 2 to 5 with accompanying adult. $5/participating child (non-members); $3/participating child (members). Pre-registration is not necessary.
