Museum staff will visit the Chestnut Hill Library for two programs:
Explore the Declaration of Independence
(Tuesday, July 7 at 5:30PM)
This program, appropriate for ages 6-12, will include curiousity-provoking object, document, and story-based activities that will bring the people and events of the American Revolution to life.
Spies of the Revolution
(Tuesday, Augus 4 at 5:30PM)
Also led by museum educators, participants of this program will learn about spies of the American Revolution. Who were they and how did they operate under cover? You’ll get to untwist some of these puzzles. This program is perfect for ages 7-12 and their grown-ups. |
Join us as we celebrate the release of Dr. Meg Wahlberg’s Knitbone, a historical fiction novel about a woman serving as a bonesetter amidst the terror of the Albigensian Crusade. Bring your most obscure questions about medieval herbalism and military medicine. There will be a theatrical reading, a book signing, and a Q&A with the author.
