After-school program takes children back to Colonial times

First- and second-grade girls are invited to participate in "Living in Long Ago Days," an after-school program sponsored by the Wayland Historical Society. Sessions will be on Tuesday, March 2, 9, 16 and 23, from 3:15 to 4:45 p.m. at the Grout-Heard House, next to the library.  This program, tailored for 6 to 8 year olds, minimizes listening time and allows the children to learn through taking part in Colonial games, crafts and activities. Whenever the children put on their "let’s pretend" mobcaps, they can string apples, work on small looms, attend a dame school or eat a Colonial meal.  Registration is limited and will be honored in the order received. The $50 fee for the four sessions should be paid to the Wayland Historical Society, P.O. Box 56, Wayland MA 01778. Scholarships are available.  For more information call the Wayland Historical Society at 508-358-7959.
