Description

Spend a day with us and see what it was like to live in the early 1800's. Our region of CT has so many interesting stories that we want to share with you. This living history event will be held at three different locations. Spend part of your day or the whole day with your family learning about life in Eastern CT in 1830. You can be a part of a town meeting, learn how they made bonnets, learn a lesson in a schoolhouse, go to a wealthy family's house and learn how to dip candles, do your laundry (without machines!), play a musical instrument, make herbal teas to cure your illnesses, learn how to weave, bake bread and preserve food. Join us in Windham Center for a wedding, some famous artwork, and visit the doctor! You will be able to talk to real live people and ask them question, listen to their stories, and learn lots of fun and amazing new things!
