 Old Fashioned Fun Day
Sunday, July 26
1 - 4 p.m.

On Old Fashioned Fun Day special “kid-friendly” tours of Acorn Hall will be provided. These tours include hands-on artifacts in each room so that young visitors can experience the 19th century.

On the back lawn of Acorn Hall traditional 19th century games such as croquet, graces, and rolling hoops will prove that fun doesn’t need batteries! Victorian-themed “make and take” crafts will be available for children ages four and up. Each child will receive an Acorn Hall activity book to take home.

Explore the grounds while searching for the fairies in the fairy garden. Learn about letter-boxing, a type of scavenger hunt that began in the Victorian era.

Adults and children can play dress-up with a wide selection of Victorian-inspired clothing. Capture the moment with a sepia-toned picture to take home.

Old Fashioned Fun Day will take place rain or shine. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3 for students. Children under twelve and MCHS members are free.
