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.

Tobacco Plantation

For ages 5 and up.

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!

Eastern Woodland “Clay-tivity”

1:00 p.m.- 2:30 p.m.

Woodland Indian Hamlet

For ages 8 and older

Get ready to immerse yourself in pottery making alongside our Woodland Indian Hamlet team! We will guide you through every stage—from selecting raw materials to crafting the finished, fired piece. Let’s embrace the mess and create something beautiful with a touch of history!

Root, Leaf and STEM

1:00 p.m.- 2:30 p.m.

Town Center

For ages 5 – 9

Calling all curious kiddos! If you’re ready to dig into nature and get your hands a little dirty, then join us for a fun-filled journey from seed to sprout. We’ll get up close with plants, explore their roots, and even plant some seeds to take home. It’s the perfect adventure for your little green thumb!
