The City of Belleville’s Glanmore National Historic Site has lots of fun for families on tap this summer!
Back by popular demand is the Summer Fun at the Museum afternoons where you can bring the family to explore the historic house and join demonstrators for some old fashioned summertime fun. Regular museum admission applies; children must be accompanied by an adult.
The following Summer Fun activities are offered:
Wednesday, August 7 – 2:00 to 4:00 pm – Play old=fashioned outdoor games such as croquet, barrel hoops, graces and stilt-walking!
Wednesday, August 21- 2:00 to 4:00 pm - Make and taste delicious ice cream using our old-fashioned churn!
Families participating in the Summer Fun activities are also encouraged to explore the historic house together. An Artifact Scavenger Hunt worksheet is available at the museum’s front reception desk. The scavenger hunt will challenge children and adults alike to a scavenger hunt to search through room displays for specific artifacts. Once the worksheet is completed and all objects are found, bring it back to the front desk and receive a small reward!
Glanmore National Historic Site, 257 Bridge Street East, is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 am until 4:30 pm. For more information call 613-962-2329 or visit www.glanmore.ca.
