Once Upon a Time: A New Interactive Exhibit for Children
Now through December
Once Upon a Time: The Story of the Children of Liberty Hall explores five distinct generations of children who grew up at Liberty Hall during the Revolutionary War, New Nation, Civil War, Late Victorian and Modern Age eras. Through the use of artifacts, reproductions and hands-on activities, children will discover the evolution of education, recreation and technology and grasp an understanding of how the world of a child is constantly changing.
The exhibit features photos, clothes, toys and furniture of the times, as well as a newly created interactive nursery circa 1899. The museum’s staff has also built a story book nook with an oversized window seat for children to sit and read a story about the kids of Liberty Hall. The exhibit ends with a tour of Liberty Hall’s historic gardens where children can run around in the formally sculpted maze.
Time: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Sunday - noon to 4 p.m.)
Price: Adults, $10; seniors, college students with a valid I.D. and children, $6; and children under three, free.
**During the month of December Liberty Hall Museum will be a drop off location for Toys for Tots. For the starred (*) events please help us with this great cause and bring an unwrapped gift for children ages 0-17 with you to the museum on the day of the event. Donations during the entire month of December are also greatly appreciated.
