Grab and Go Bags: Whale of a State

July 2, 2022

Ahoy mateys! It’s time to set sail! Children will discover what it was like to be a sailor on a whaling expedition in the 18th century. Then, using images of items from the CMCH collection as inspiration, they can make their own “scrimshaw!”

Please note, there is no on-site family program; these bags are designed for families to complete at home and will be available while supplies last. These bags are free and great for children ages 5 and up. For additional information, please contact Katerina Mazzacane, Youth and Family Programs Manager, at 860-236-5621 x222, or email katerina_mazzacane@chs.org.

Thanks to Berkshire Bank for their support of this program.
