The free program coincides with the monthly historical games
Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site is pleased to welcome librarians from the Yonkers Public Library, Riverfront Branch, for our monthly First Saturday Story Time program. Join us on Saturday, September 7, 2024 at 12:00 noon for this free, family-friendly program.
We read Horn books and inkwells by Verla Kay, a story about school in the 18th century, and Revolutionary Prudence Wright: She led the women in the fight for independence by Beth Anderson, based on a true story about a woman who supports her town in the face of the British. Free! No registration required. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Also, Philipse Manor Hall is offering Historical Games on Saturday 7 September 2024 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. How did people entertain themselves in the old days? Join us indoors (outdoors if the weather is nice) at Philipse Manor Hall and try your hand at all kinds of historical games. Learn about the history behind these games and then learn how to play Quoits, Nine Men’s Morris, Shut the Box, Mancala, Graces, Skittles, Captain’s Mistress and more! For children and adults. Free! No registration required. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
