Description
Make every weekend an event with free historical programming at the Conococheague Institute.
Learn about the 18th century through hands on programming and discover the world of the settlers of America's early frontiers.
Join us EVERY Saturday for the changing-themed programs!
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the museum offers exhibits and life demonstrations (living history) of 18th Century frontier life such as gardening, hearth cooking and crafts. Visitors can draw water from a well, play period games in the tavern, try on colonial fashions or help out in the kitchen garden.
The programs are made possible by the Thomas G. & Nancy H. Burkey Fund, a charitable fund of the Franklin County Community Foundation, a regional foundation of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC).
