A Child Like Me
How Children in the 18th Century Lived and Played

Listen to the story of General Henry Knox as a child, compare historic images of the Jacobus Vanderveer House to the homes we live in today, play with colonial toys and games, and make your own colonial-era hat! Don’t forget to sign your name on the life-size replica of the Declaration of Independence before you leave!
This program is recommended for children ages 8-12.
Presented by Jacobus Vanderveer House Commission.
