Are the
wintertime blues getting you and the kids down? Then join
us at the Daniel Boone Homestead for our Fireside Tales and
chase those blues away!
Storytelling was a great way for families in the 18th
century to pass the time during the long, dark winters.
During our Fireside Tales, Homestead Friends and volunteers
will read a few stories geared toward young children ages 4
– 8 and their families in the rustic atmosphere of the
Wayside Lodge at 2:00pm.
The
stories will have a different theme each day:
January 10 - Good Neighbors
February 7 - Felicity and Ben - More Adventures with
Colonial Kids
March 7 - Native American Tales
We will
make sure to have a nice, cheerful fire going in the
fireplace in the Wayside Lodge but it will still be quite
chilly inside so remember to dress warmly and bring a few
extra blankets or quilts to relax on and snuggle under!
Light refreshments will be available.
These
programs are offered free to the public but donations to the
Friends of the Daniel Boone Homestead will be kindly
accepted.
So
forget about Old Man Winter for an hour or two and spend an
afternoon with your family at the Daniel Boone Homestead!
The First Pennsylvania
Regiment will hold a flintlock shoot in the Rifle
Range - rain, sleet, snow or shine!
