Join us for a special hands-on program,
just for homeschool and virtual learning families!

Chocolate in Colonial America
Tuesday, October 18, 25, November 1, 8, 2022
at 9:30 and 11:30 a.m.
All programs are the same.

Candy bars, KISSES and truffles – the sweet chocolate candy we enjoy today is very different from the chocolate consumed by colonists in the 1700s. Step back in time and learn how chocolate was made in Colonial America and the unique ingredients that were used.

Try your hand at grinding cocoa beans, look at original recipes and participate in other hands-on activities while discovering the important role chocolate played in the founding of America. Every participant will make their own colonial-inspired chocolate medallions that can be eaten or made into a special drink!

Homeschool tickets also include admission to the museum and an educational scavenger hunt through the museum exhibits. Chocolate in Colonial America is geared towards 2nd – 8th grade students, but it is a fun, educational experience for students in all grades!

Cost:
$13 for ages 3 and over.
Ages 2 and under are free.
Advanced registration is required here.

The program will last about an hour. The scavenger hunt takes 45-60 minutes, so please plan on at least 90 minutes to 2 hours for the full experience.

This program is for homeschooling families. Private programs are available for groups of 15 or more. Please contact Elizabeth Lindsay at [email protected] or 717.520.5588 with questions or to book a private program.
