Event Details

Date: November 16, 2024
Time: 12:00 pm
–4:00 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 March 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 Saturday, November 16, the KidStudio will offer Colonial games! Children in Colonial times didn’t have video games or TV for entertainment. Instead, they made their own fun with games like pickup sticks and marbles. Learn how to play pick up sticks and craft your own marbles as you explore how kids like you would have played in the 1700s.
