Schoenbrunn Village hosts Children’s Day
Known for hosting late night lantern tours and costumed interpreters demonstrating all different imaginable 18th century trades and tasks, Schoenbrunn Children’s Day is a hands on experience just for youth… of all ages.
For the second year, the village invites families to bring their imagination and their interest in learning, as Schoenbrunn Village takes kids back to the 18th century. Children will have the chance to not only watch trades like wood crafting and candle dipping, but have a chance to make their own candle and try their skill at woodworking. Ever wonder what it took to make corn meal, one of the everyday meals at Schoenbrunn? Take a turn with the corn stompers and learn what skills it took to make it perfect.
A magical experience awaits around every corner of the village, and watch for the colonial magician. Sponsored by Super Fitness, magician Jim Kleefeld will delight everyone as he performs colonial magic tricks in costume while roaming the village. Mark the time for two special presentations at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Test strength and skill at both Colonial and Native American games. Kids will have the chance to challenge their family and friends to games of tug-of-war, hoop rolling and many more games from that time. These are games that not only entertained children 200 years ago, but also helped teach the skills of the time.
Entering into a schoolhouse has never been this much fun, as children have a chance to learn a lesson by trying their hand at writing on slates and learning how to write with quills. Watch as ink is mixed for the important school day at Schoenbrunn Village, where all children were given the chance to learn.
Be sure to bring a camera, as there will be a number of great picture opportunities, like trying on colonial costumes of the time and petting the animals at the village for the day. Be sure to sample the popcorn made over the open hearth too.
Scheduled events will take place for Children’s Day from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Families are invited to bring picnic lunches and enjoy picnicking areas surrounding the village. Take part in an event that the whole family can enjoy.
