Time: 12:00 pm

In conjunction with our current exhibition, Greenwich During the Revolutionary War: A Frontier Town on the Front Line, the Time Travelers KidStudio returns through June 2025! Step back in time and learn how kids lived in Greenwich 250 years ago. Every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon will feature a new guided craft or activity inspired by the colonial era. Children up to age 12 are welcome to attend with an accompanying adult.

On Wednesday, January 22 the KidStudio will offer making a revolutionary tricorn hat! Tricorn hats were a popular style of fashion during the 1700s. Often they would help colonial travelers keep their heads safe from the weather. Use construction paper, ribbon, and stickers to create your own version of this revolutionary accessory.
