Interpreters in 17th century Dutch clothing will prepare German “Weckmann” and Dutch pancakes in the hearth kitchen, just as colonial settlers would in the 17th and 18th centuries. Visitors can make a paper lantern and collect candy to commemorate St. Martin’s Day, a Northern European holiday similar to Halloween. Learn about Native American fall traditions, including the meanings and interpretations behind the Harvest Moon. And enjoy the museum open house, featuring a museum scavenger hunt for kids.
