Kids' Day at Hempsted on Saturday

Kids are invited to bring their family and travel back to the 1700. They can write with a quill pen, make rope the way it used to be done, try their hand at crafts and chores, and explore the colonial garden.

In addition, student actors who are portraying figures from New London history will staff the site and talk with visitors about their lives.

Suggested donation is $10 per family, all of which goes toward supporting the site.

Join us at the Hempsted Houses -- 11 Hempstead St. in New London -- from 1-4 on Saturday, July 26.
