Step back in time this summer as we explore our nation’s rich heritage through hands-on crafts inspired by the past! On July 16th, join us for colonial arts & crafts day to explore the history of corn husk dolls, tracing their origins from Native Americans to European settlers and enslaved African Americans. During the Revolutionary era, children made these dolls from available materials, showcasing their resilience and creativity despite adversity. Participants will learn to craft their own corn husk dolls, connecting with the historical ingenuity of these children and the broader Revolutionary War era. Drop in any time from 12:30-2:30pm to try your hand at our all-ages activities! FREE WITH MUSEUM ADMISSION
Dedicated to educating and preserving the history of the American Revolutionary Era inside the oldest building in Manhattan.
