Step back in time and discover how people wrote and shared ideas at the very beginning of our nation! As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, families are invited to explore the fascinating world of quill pens, ink, and elegant handwriting—long before computers, keyboards, or even modern pens.

Try writing with a feather quill, practice old-fashioned penmanship, and see realistic reproductions of important early American documents. Along the way, learn how careful handwriting and handwritten letters helped shape the ideas that built our country. This hands-on program is designed to be fun, creative, and welcoming for children and grown-ups alike.

Creative Activities Include:

- Practice calligraphy using colonial-style lettering
- Create parchment-style artwork and documents with feather quills and ink
- Make a tricorn hat like those worn in the 1700s
- Design a patriotic banner using scissors, glue, and colorful paper

A perfect blend of history, creativity, and family fun!
