Children will get the opportunity to get their hands on history at the Naugatuck Historical Society this summer. The Colette’s Craft program includes activities that encourage playful exploration. The Naugatuck Historical Society is serious about their mission which not only includes preservation but also includes inspiration. Through this program children with all a variety of interests will have the opportunity to be engaged and inspired.
Each week a separate focus and activity will be introduced, so you can bring your child to just one of the programs offered, or all of them. The calendar of programs has just been updated. Each program is at 11am on Fridays starting July 8th and continuing through August 5th. The fee is only $2 a child. Pre-registration is recommended. Call or email today.
