Yonkers youth to explore pastimes from the past

  • 2020-04-18
One of Yonkers’ historic sites wants to bring history to life for young people, and it has created a summer program to put the fun in learning about the past.

Philipse Manor Hall has created programming that can show kids what life would have been like for people their age back in the days before smart phones and social media. They will see what a typical day was like for kids in the 1700s, and there is no charge to stop by and see what it is all about.

The guests at these summer time sessions will be able to see and even try out games that were popular in the 18th Century, and they will discover their origins and also how they have adapted and changed over time. They can also try on some period costumes and take some photos of the experience.

By making learning history accessible to all, an event like this can help kids to develop a lifelong interest in learning about the past. A banner printing company can offer Banners and other signage that can help to create the look and feel of the 1700s.

This chance to take a step back in time to the early days of the community will be offered on Wednesdays throughout the summer months. The New York Parks website will be updated with the latest details.
