Colonial Days Giveaway!
Colonial Days is one of Mount Vernon’s most popular school programs- what child doesn’t want to see colonial crafters such as papermakers and basketmakers, meet a soldier in full regalia, visit the baby animals, or play colonial games down on the Pioneer Farm? It’s the ultimate field trip experience. Of course, teachers seem to love it just as much, especially the colonial chocolate making, but this year we are extending a special invitation to teachers to meet our new blacksmith. The reconstructed blacksmith shop just opened this past spring, and as you come in to meet the new blacksmith, Eric, he would like to gift each teacher a beautiful, handcrafted iron wall hook. Colonial Days runs from 9:30 am- 1:00 pm, Tuesday-Friday, October 20-November 13, 2009 and this spring, February 17-March 12, 2010. Plan your visit and register your field trip here.
