CHILDREN'S SUMMER HISTORY
PROGRAM

PIP! Plymouth in the Past Series

Discover Plymouth’s past beyond the Pilgrims in an exciting week of historic adventure

Sign up your young learners for a week-long program of hands-on activities, walking tours, site visits, and workshops on Plymouth history from late colonial times to the modern era. Sign up for one or more weeks during our four-week series -- each week offers new and different historical activities.

Immerse yourself in long-ago times & a different way of living

Participants explore Plymouth’s rich historic district, and learn the stories of the town center and its residents over four centuries. Through hands-on crafts and historic activities, such as spinning, weaving, art projects, cooking, and period games, students learn about daily life in the past. Each week-long program concludes with a special presentation for family members, developed and performed by the students. Presentations may range from an afternoon of historic role-playing with children creating costumes and taking on the identity of Plymouth characters, or a historical puppet play with student-crafted puppets, or a historic tour of the downtown conducted by new experts in Plymouth history, or other creative programs.

Based at the Hedge House Museum on the Plymouth waterfront, with convenient on-site parking.

Recommended for ages 7 to 12.

Sessions available July and early August.

Pre-registration and pre-payment required.
