S'mores and Stories: Farming in Fall

Our popular summer series is back! Join us 7-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, around the campfire at Greenmead Historical Park as we enjoy stories, crafts, games and, of course, s’mores! This month's theme is "Farming in Fall." Registering in advance is required for $5 per child resident and $6 per child non-resident.
This program is best for ages 5-12. All children must be accompanied by an adult, but only children need to be registered!
