Through Young Eyes: 18th-Century Community

The young child is inspired to compare his or her life with that of children from the past. Students explore the different roles of the people who lived on the manor: the Van Cortlandts, the enslaved Africans, tenant farmers, and craftsmen. A hands-on tour offers the student a chance to churn butter, pick and card wool, and try on clothing of the period.
