Children's Day at The Little Red School House

           Costumed Docents will conduct “class” inside the school house for children 5 to 10 years old and recess activities will take place outside.  Docents will teach and organize colonial games, such as Graces, Trundling a Hoop, Sack Races, and Tug of War. 

       Class will begin promptly at 12:30pm with a hornbook craft.  In the event of rain, class will still be held, but outside events will be cancelled.  Admission is free, but donations are welcomed and appreciated.  Your donation allows us to continue offering programs such as this.

       In 1968 the society acquired the school house and relocated the structure from its original site on Toll Gate Hill (now Route 25) to its present location. The Historical Society is a non-profit, all volunteer organization.  During the year we offer open houses with living history demonstrations, a lecture series, a summer history camp  and many special events.  All funding comes from private donations, membership dues, bequests and fund raisers such as the house and garden tour and publication sales.  New members are always welcome and volunteers are needed to help organize and run our many events!  To join or for more information, please visit our website: www.newtownhistory.org, Facebook page: www.facebook.com/newtownhistoricalsociety or call the society at 203-426-5937.
