Family Adventure Days: Escape to Freedom

August 1, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join the CMCH as we explore the history of the Underground Railroad. You will get the chance to learn about the secret code used among freedom seekers and how they used the stars and songs to communicate with each other. You can then make a constellation-inspired craft!

This program is included with museum admission, and great for children ages 4 and up. For more information, please contact Katerina Mazzacane, Coordinator of Youth and Family Programs, at 860-236-5621 x222, or email Katerina_mazzacane@chs.org.
