Let’s dig into the past and learn about archaeology! Early learners aged 18 months to 4 years old and their caregivers will learn about how we found some artifacts at Tudor Place and what they tell us about people of the past. This program will be taught through group story time, songs, museum artifacts and a hands-on art project.
Parents/caregivers must remain with children at all times.
