5 Things: Kids in the Kitchen, Get Out This Weekend and More

1. Get back to the good ol days family style on Friday with "Kids in the Kitchen." Kids and their families will get a chance to learn how to cook farm raised produce over the fire at the hearth of the 18th century Tenant Farmhouse.  We'll start by selecting seasonal produce, investigate old recipes in an 18th century cookbook, and then prepare a dish the way it was done 200 years ago!
The event is on Friday, July 26 from 10:00am-12:30pm. 
Tickets cost $25.00 for Adults; $17.00 for Children (3-12).  Museum Members-$20.00 for Adults; $15.00 Children (3-12). (No food "served" during our educational workshop.)

The first 50 will receive a gift and we'll have nail/hair/beauty treatments, beauty product/yoga certificates, and more up for grabs!) Tickets cost $10 and the fun goes from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
