This event will be limited to about 100 people per hour, so please register the total number of your group that will be attending the event. Activities will be socially distanced, and visitors will be asked to wear masks. Two new temporary exhibits inside the museum will be debuted, one is a living interpretation of John V. B. Wicoff's study, as it may have looked in the early 20th century when he lived in the Wicoff House and worked as a gentleman farmer, lawyer and bank president. The second exhibit contains objects owned by the Wicoff family, such as Mrs. Wicoff's wedding dress. Outdoor activities will include games and crafts. Kids will receive an activity booklet to complete for a prize. There will also be an outdoor scavenger hunt! Refreshments will be provided, including warm apple cider and snacks.
