Step into the lives of 19th century children! Activities, demonstrations, and displays will be ongoing throughout the day and take visitors through the plantation house, buildings, and grounds. Topics include Manners and Morals, Children's Clothing, Diseases and Medicines, Herbal Remedies, Discipline, Toys and Games, Education, and more!

Two crafts are included free with admission: Hornbooks and Whirligigs/Buzzsaws
