This Saturday, September 12, is Colonial Kids Day in Hillsborough!

The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough hosts the annual event, “a family-friendly day of free living history activities” at the Burwell School Historic Site on N. Churton Street. Activities include colonial dancing demonstrations, colonial games, and hands-on craft-making opportunities including butter churning, candle-making and quilt-making. There will also be spinning and weaving demonstrations down the road at the Orange County Historical Museum – and the Alliance will host a walking tour of colonial sites in Hillsborough.

Alliance for Historic Hillsborough executive director Sarah DeGennaro joined Aaron Keck on WCHL.

 

Colonial Kids Day runs from 11 am to 3 pm; the walking tour begins at 11:00 from the Hillsborough Visitors Center at 150 E. King Street. It’s $5 for the walking tour, but all other activities are free.
