History Kids Kamp
Children can experience aspects of the Civil War at the Plymouth Historical Museum during the first annual History Kids Kamp on Saturday, August 13, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Kids will spend the day recreating what life was like during the war, including dressing in period clothing, getting their picture taken, as well as a chore race consisting of old-fashioned tasks from the mid-1800s. There will also be a scavenger hunt, which will entertain and educate while they search for clues to solve a puzzle. Children will be able to chat with Civil War soldier reenactors who can answer questions, demonstrate marching, and much more. Every child will be given a commemorative t-shirt to wear for the day, and the boys will be given the opportunity to "enlist" in the army.
