Learn about Virginia’s Thanksgiving heritage as we tell the story of the settlers on the ship Margaret in 1619, their Thanksgiving day, and their contacts with Powhatan and Manhoac peoples. Build a sailing ship of your own to cross the ocean!
“Hands on History” is the museum’s interactive series of children’s programming that brings fun facts, objects, and activities out of the past to your family today!
The series, targeted at ages 2-5, will be held monthly. Each month will feature a different craft inspired by local history. Past programs have included flying kites, drawing maps, and making your own dinosaur tracks!
There is no admission fee for this program. Admission to these programs is FREE thanks to funding from the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative through a Power of Change grant.
This program is for Children ages 2-5. Parents/ guardians should accompany their children. Attendance limited to 12 children
