On Sunday, October 31, head to Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center for FREE Family Talks about linen production with KTM&HC Chief Curator Catherine Prescott.
Through engaging and interactive presentations, Prescott will demonstrate how Ridgefield farms would convert flax they grew into linen thread and cloth. Visitors can stop by any time between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to learn and participate in activities: a great family-friendly event!
#HandsOnHistory Family Talks are popular annual events at KTM&HC featuring interactive exhibits and skilled artisan demonstrations. This year, these interactive, drop-in programs and demonstrations provide opportunities for audiences of all ages to learn about historic practices related to fibers and textiles. Thanks to generous funding from M&T Bank, site admission – including a museum tour, entry to our current #HandsOnHistory and “Tying the Knot” exhibits, and full access to all our #HandsOnHistory Family Talks – is free every Sunday from September 30 to November 7.
Purchase tickets in advance at www.keelertavernmuseum.org/events or on site at the Visitor Center.
