Patriots’ Day Free Family Activities

Celebrate the start of the American Revolution by exploring artifacts in the Museum and then visiting our drop-in activities to learn about life and craft in the colonies. Visit a craftsperson in the Museum demonstrating various objects that were made of horn during the colonial period, including powder horns and everyday items like cups and combs. Beware of a Redcoat from the British Army roaming the galleries looking for Provincial rebels! Talk with him about the experiences of the Redcoats on April 19, 1775.

Museum admission is free on Patriots’ Day thanks to the generosity of the Highland Street Foundation.
