Museum Program Cancelled!

Friends of Hands-on History and other interested parties,

I am sorry to tell you that the Holland Museum’s Revolutionary Kids program has been canceled due to low enrollment.

The museum staff sent me an email yesterday to let me know. I am of course disappointed by the cancellation, but there are plans for a similar program in the future, and we hope that Hands-on History will be a part of it.

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Revoultionary Kids at the Holland Museum

On December 15th, Hands-on History will be presenting at the Holland Museum, in Holland, Michigan as part of their Revolutionary Kids program. If you’re a teacher, youth group leader, or part of a home-school group, this would be a super time to check out Hands-on History in action before booking us. Here are the details, from the Calendar page of the Holland Museum’s website:

Dec 15
* REVOLUTIONARY KIDS, 10 am – 2 pm (Sat)
In connection with the Thomas Jefferson exhibit at the Holland Museum, this program for children aged 7 – 12 yrs. is designed to give a glimpse into the life and activities of a child during revolutionary war times. Participants meet up with a “redcoat” and a “continental” soldier and hear their stories. They will also listen to period music, learn crafts, dances and games from that time of history and sample foods during lunch that would have been served in the late 1700s. Space is limited and prior registration required. Call 616/392-9084 for information and registration. Cost: $30, includes lunch and craft materials. Holland Museum; 31 W 10th St, 616/392-9084 or toll free 888/200-9123
