Numbers in Navigation

10:30 a.m.- 12:00 p.m.

Waterfront, Maryland Dove

For ages 10 and up.

Dive into a morning of maritime math by the sea, where you’ll unravel the role numbers play in navigation. You’ll team up with the crew of the Maryland Dove to craft your very own “quadrant,” a navigational tool from the annals of history that uses celestial bodies or nearby objects to pinpoint your position within a given space. Wrap up your morning with a real-time test of your newly minted tool. Do you think you can figure out where you stand in relation to the surrounding nautical objects? Join us and let’s find out together!

Don’t Bite the Hen That Feeds You

10:30 a.m.- 12:00 p.m.

Get a hands-on feel of life in 17th century Maryland at our Tobacco Plantation! Our animal husbandry workshop is an immersive experience where you’ll learn to care for our heritage breed animals, collect eggs, and even cook up a poultry meal over an open hearth. It’s a communal, friendly, and truly inclusive “farm to table” colonial program!

Woodland Indian Hamlet
