Noah’s New Americans


Noah's New Americans-1A History Club for
Youth ages 11-17

Who are they?
Noah’s New Americans are kids who are interested in history and want to learn more by participating in it!  Students ages 11-17 are welcome to join.

Is it fun?
Noah’s New Americans dress in 18th century clothing and learn all about daily life during the American Revolution by trying out the activities, games, and chores of the time. They do activities like hearth cooking, crafts, woodworking, spinning, and more!  

What do they do?
The club introduces colonial life, morals, and genteel manners to young adults. Each member assumes the identity of a Connecticut colonist and learns about who they were and what they did.  Characters are developed as they participate in colonial pastimes, and try out colonial chores. They are also involved in volunteer and community projects.  

When do they meet?
The New Americans meet the first Wednesday of every month from September to June from 2-5:30 p.m. at the Noah Webster House and West Hartford Historical Society (227 South Main Street, West Hartford).
