Children ages seven through twelve are invited to celebrate Presidents’ Day at the History Center of Niagara County from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 16.
This year’s program will highlight the similarities and differences between the two men who were President during the Civil War years – Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. Through stories, games and hands-on activities children will learn about these two leaders, their families and how they influenced the Union and the Confederacy during their tenure as President. Participants will also make toys that would have been played with by the Lincoln and Davis children. A noontime snack will also be served while the children hear the story of Grace Bedell, the Westfield girl who convinced Lincoln to grow a beard.
The cost of the program is $10.00 per child. Reservations are required. Parents are encouraged to leave their children for the duration of the program.
Call 434-7433 or email the History Center at history11@verizon.net for reservations and more information. Minimum of 10 children are required for the program to take place.
