A Day in the Life of a Colonial Child - Historic London Towne

Homeschool Day

November 13 

10:00 a.m. - 02:30 p.m.  

  

What would your life have been like if you lived in London Town in 1710? Was it all work and no play? Come join us for a day filled with chores (splitting wood, hauling water, grinding corn), hearth cooking, education, and if we finish our responsibilities-- games! Be prepared to get your hands dirty, eat good food, and experience a taste of life in colonial times.

Check out this interactive book. How did children live in colonial America? Follow the stories of three real families in eighteenth-century London Town, an important trading port in Maryland. Explore their lives to learn what it was like to grow up in the Chesapeake region before the American Revolution.
