Colonial Life with the Claflins Scout Program for Brownies and Girl Scout Troops

Offered at 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Scout Troops will explore life in rural Colonial Massachusetts with an authentic hands-on experience in a 17th century home.

Gather ’round the hearth grinding spices, making butter, and learning about the family’s daily chores using colonial reproduction household tools.

The 3-hour program begins with a short introduction to colonial customs and dress, followed by two 50-minute hands-on experiences through a series of learning stations in both the historic Claflin-Gerrish-Richards house and in the museum’s program space.

Learning stations include candle dipping, schoolwork with a quill, weights and measures with a yoke, and traditional games of the period.

Each scout will bring home a dipped candle.

Rate: $18.00 per scout (includes a special Wenham Museum badge) and $15.00 per adult.

Groups are welcome to visit the museum galleries before or after their program
