Marshall Children Program Resumes This Spring!

JOIN THE MARSHALL CHILDREN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM AT THE GLEBE HOUSE MUSEUM AND BE A PART OF HISTORY THAT LIVES!




Woodbury: Become part of living history at the Glebe House Museum & Gertrude Jekyll Garden - join the Marshall Children Young Docent Program. Here is your chance to really learn about what life was like for families who lived here in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. You will learn to conduct guided tours of the museum in period costumes and will be taught candle making, quill writing and other colonial crafts so that you might teach them to other children. You will be doing colonial cooking, visiting area museums, and have lots of fun immersed in the history of the historic house museum on the most historic street in Woodbury.


The Marshall Children Young Docent program is named for the nine children of John and Sarah Marshall who lived in the Glebe House from 1771-1786. These young docents are our greatest ambassadors in the community, and participate in events like All Hollow’s Eve and the Woodbury Christmas Festival. All Hollow’s Eve, a wonderfully scary event now in its 19th year would not be the same without the inclusion of our young docents in the roles of some of Woodbury’s early citizens.


The program is open to children 6 and up and meets on select Thursday afternoons from 4:30 – 5:30. The upcoming Spring Session begins on Thursday, April 21 and will include five meetings. *All CDC and State Health & Safety guidelines will be followed. Activities will be held outside whenever possible.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet children from all over the region who share your interest in local history. You will become a significant part of the museum experience and enrich those who visit by sharing your enthusiasm and new –found knowledge.


Please call the Museum Director for more information and to register at 203-263-2855. Information, registration forms and scheduled dates are available on our website at www.glebehousemuseum.org.

The cost for the Spring Session is $75/Members and $95/Non-Members. There is limited space available. Registration will remain open until all spaces are filled.
