“The kids’ eyes light up when we walk in wearing Colonial-style clothing and let them try the toys that children used to play with centuries ago. It makes history come to life for them,” says Michelle Vintson, Educational Program Manager.

Our school outreach programs, like “Revolutionary Chester County, 1777-1778," “Growing up in Colonial Chester County,” and others, are timely complements to the history curriculum.
