Be a Conklin for a Day

The Huntington Historical Society is offering children ages 7 to 12 a wonderful opportunity to come to our historical Conklin Barn and House Museum and spend an exciting morning experiencing life as a colonial child. This adventure will begin in the barn working on a craft, dressing-up in colonial clothes, spinning wool, playing with colonial toys and churning butter which will be served on delicious corn bread. Following the barn activities, we will gather in the Conklin House and the children will be given a complete tour of the house! Your child(ren) will end their adventure with a stronger appreciation of colonial history.

Register your child by calling Wendy Andersen 631-427-7045 ext. 404 or 401 and ask to speak to Wendy Andersen, Director of Education for the Huntington Historical Society. Save the date for November 8, 2011 (election day). Arrive at the Conklin barn on 2 High Street, Huntington, NY at 9:00am. The program will end by 12 noon. Fee: $20.00 members, $25.00 non-members.
