Kids Summer Adventures Program: Secrets of the Civil War
July 28 - August 1, 2014 |
Secret codes, secret weapons, secret agreements, secret homes! Each morning, 9am - 12 noon, during the week of July 28th to August 1st, take part in activities that explore this fascinating time in American history. Learn about the front line of battle, the home front, and delve into some of the secrets of the Civil War. Throughout the week, participants will see how the war affected the lives of men, women, and children in both the North and the South. Hands-on projects include
building a model of a Civil War battlefield, making replicas of the ships “Merrimack”
and “Monitor” and testing them in a water battle, and using the secret code
systems used by the Union and Confederate troops. Children will also learn about nineteenth-century illustrator Thomas Nast, create an original work of art, and try
printing for themselves using brayers and ink.

children ages 9 - 12 years old. Pre-registration is required. Call (973) 538-2404 ext. 16 or email cwinslow@maccullochhall.org. The cost for the week-long program is $175/child for Museum members and $200/child for non-members. Not yet a member? Visit maccullochhall.org and become a member today.
