Life on the Webster Farm: Work Days - Dancing the Time Away in Early America!

Visit the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society on Saturday, March 9 from 1:30pm - 3:30pm to enjoy live demonstrations from our experienced team of museum educators. Each demonstration will focus on a unique aspect of early American work and play. March’s program will feature popular dances in Early America! Dancing was a favorite pastime of early Americans, including Noah Webster. Men, women, and children found relief from work by taking part in dancing. It was a time to “kick up your heels” and enjoy time with family and friends. Join us at the Noah Webster House and learn how to dance the Townsend Reel and a favorite among children, Allee-Allee-O. This program is included in museum admission. Enjoy FREE general admission for children under 12 for this event!
