Life could be tough for farmers in the early days of the state's history, and a Catonsville historic site will offer a living history lesson that will introduce the area's past.
Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum has organized a special activity that will explore how settlers managed to make it through the tough days of winter. The docents for day will be in period dress, and all ages may appreciate the activity.
The attendees at Banneker’s Winter Farmstead will be able to explore the property so they can view the ways the residents would have adapted to the cold by storing food, using special tools and entertaining themselves during the long winter nights. They will be happy to answer questions from the visitors, and the open house will run for five hours. All ages are welcome, and admission will be free of charge.
One of the ways a museum or other historical venue can help to create a special experience for its patrons is by ordering period-style printed materials from an area poster printing company. These can be designed so they fit in well with a particular activity, and can include any graphic designs requested.
Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum will be supplying this sneak peek into the state’s early history on January 14. The venue will be open from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm
