Celebrate the end of the school year and the arrival of summer with a Kids-Get-in-Free Week at Genesee Country Village & Museum.
Starting Tuesday, June 27, through Sunday, July 2, all kids 16 and under will be admitted free to the museum.
During that week, there will be special focus on youth activities throughout the Historic Village, from games—including some little-known today— to gatherings and activities a 19th-century youngster would have experienced.
Young visitors can test a two-man saw and other long-ago chores like stoking fires, carrying wood and grating kitchen spices.
In addition, children can meet the museum’s new lambs and the powerful oxen team as well as attend a 19th-century classroom and chat with a cooper as he crafts wooden buckets. Kids can learn to knit, punch a tin design, see how they would have had to behave in the 1800’s, be amazed at Professor Lowe’s “magic gas” and treated to the sounds of a glass harmonica.
The site includes nature trails to hike and a gallery with western art and historic clothing to explore and where, in a new photo booth, they can become part of popular works of art.
The event is sponsored by the Polisseni Foundation.
