Colonial Times

A series of interactive, hands-on activities set in the seventeenth-century Arnold House. Students immerse themselves in early local history in an authentic setting, experiencing history first hand while exploring the Arnold House.

At The Bay

Students learn about fresh and saltwater wetlands and then discover the wide variety of organisms that live in the salt marsh, salt pond, and cobble beach.

On The Farm

Students meet farm animals, explore fields and farm buildings, get to act like a draft horse, and learn what it's like to milk a cow. Every animal contributes to the success on the farm.

Old Weights and Odd Measures

This history-rich math program is a great way to combine subjects in a hands-on lesson in weights and measures. Students learn about such units of measure as the rod, gill, and peck, as they are introduced to the apprenticeship model of learning as practiced in Colonial America.
