Life on the Webster Farm: Work Days - Early American Games & Toys

Visit the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society on Saturday, April 13 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. April’s program will feature popular toys and games in Early America! While early Americans in New England worked hard to fulfill household and farming responsibilities, they also found some time to have fun! Museum teachers will show your family how to play centuries-old games like “Jack Straws” and you can try your hand at Early American toys like the “ball & cup,” the Jacob’s ladder, a hand top, or a “button buzzer.” Make your own “button buzzer” to take home with you! This program is included in museum admission. Enjoy FREE general admission for children under 12 for this event!
