Third and fourth grade girls are invited to learn about American History in an after-school program sponsored by the Wayland Historical Society. The program runs four Tuesday afternoons, October 6, 13, 20, and 27, from 3:15 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the Grout-Heard House, located next to the Library.
Four rooms in the Grout-Heard House represent different time-periods between 1775 and 1900. In each one, the program will introduce issues where Wayland women and girls were touched by American historical events-the Revolution, immigration, transportation and women’s rights.
Come wear a mobcap as you practice your sampler, use a quill pen to write a friend in your old home country, make a velvet necklace and play some Victorian games, and fight for women’s rights with signs and a protest march.
The registration fee of $50 for the four sessions should be paid to the Wayland Historical Society, P.O. Box 56, Wayland MA 01778. Registration is limited. Deadline is September 29, 2013. Scholarships are available.
