The History of Gingerbread, one of Washington’s favorite treats, will be presented and baked on the winter kitchen hearth. Colonial education and quill pen writing will be ongoing in the upstairs bedchamber.
Refreshment ginger snaps and punch will be available to all. This is a great family event for school age children and above. Come and go as you like as activities are ongoing.
