Kids these days grow up with the world at their fingertips. It's easy to forget the value of elbow grease when apps and Ubers are so prevalent. Ever wonder what your kids would be doing if they were born, say, 200 years earlier? Find out at Homeschool: People of London Town. Take an educational excursion to learn about daily life in early Maryland with an apprenticeship as a carpenter, tavern keeper, or a rope-maker. Oh, and feel free to wear your traditional colonial attire!
Fee for participating children $8 for members | $10 for non-members. Free for accompanying adults. Wednesday, March, 13: 10:00 am-12:00 pm
