Revolutionary Science
Did you know that colonial people experimented with science every day? From cooking, to getting water from the well, to dyeing their clothes, every day was Science Day. Join us on the farm for 18th century science fun– discover how baking is like chemistry, use simple machines to perform chores, learn about our animals, and more!
Last admission at 3 PM.

Back to School
Before modern classrooms, computers, and backpacks, what was school like for children in 18th-century Pennsylvania?
