Lighting the Way

02.20.24 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

$15 – $20
In the past, labor and daily routines were planned around when the sun rose and set. So how did people see at night before electric light? Explore a historic tavern to find out! We’ll uncover how we learn about the past from the writing and objects people left behind, and learn how to make a working candle from beeswax and a lantern from tin. Kids will learn how people of the past used tools to make the world around them easier to navigate.
This program is recommended for rising 3rd – 5th graders.
$15 members, $20 nonmembers
Advanced tickets required. Since children will be dropped off for this program, a LHS Children’s Program Participation Form is required, which is available at checkout.
