April 12, 2025 – Early American Games & Toys

While early Americans worked hard to fulfill household and farming responsibilities, they also found some time to have fun! Museum teachers will show your family how to play centuries-old games like “Jack Straws” and the “ball & cup”, the Jacob’s ladder, hand tops, or “button buzzers.” Make your own ball and cup to take home with you!
