Join us for tea and create your own historic craft! All crafts are suitable for beginners.
Every month we offer activities for the whole family. Easy, roll the dice games to help the younger children with their counting and sportsmanship skills. For the older kids and adults, there will be several historical miniatures games to teach critical thinking skills while having some fun. We will continue the historical book sale and the flea market selling tabletop gaming items.
The Foot of the Rapids showcases diary entries, memoirs, letters home, poems, and music to convey exciting historic themes of The War of 1812.
