Offered each November

Program lasts about one hour and are given during the morning

    Each November, the Peterborough Historical Society invites first grade classes to a hands-on, pre-Thanksgiving event in our Colonial Kitchen.  At the great brick fireplace children see and handle utensils used in open hearth cooking and help to "cook" some food from the past.  The focus is on food and it's preparation, so children can also sample some goodies and discuss how people prepared food and cooked for themselves.

    New Hampshire Social Studies Standards addressed via this program include:

Curriculum Standards: #5, 6, 16

    Ask about our new 1st Grade Trivia Game made specifically to go along with the program!
