Third and fourth grade girls are invited to learn about American History in an after-school program sponsored by the Wayland Historical Society. The program runs four Tuesday afternoons, October 6, 13, 20, and 27, from 3:15 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the Grout-Heard House, located next to the Library.
Four rooms in the Grout-Heard House represent different time-periods between 1775 and 1900. In each one, the program will introduce issues where Wayland women and girls were touched by American historical events–the Revolution, immigration, transportation and women’s rights.
Come wear a mobcap as you practice your sampler, use a quill pen to write a friend in your old home country, make a velvet necklace and play some Victorian games, and fight for women’s rights with signs and a protest march.
The registration fee of $50 for the four sessions should be paid to the Wayland Historical Society, P.O. Box 56, Wayland MA 01778. Registration is limited. Deadline is September 29, 2013. Scholarships are available.
