Genesee Country Village and Museum presents: 19th Century Games

About this event

Body

Guided by a costumed Genesee Country Village & Museum educator, you can play with jackstraws, cup-and-ball, the whimmy-diddle, buzz saw, and much more. Those who like a challenge can try to identify the strategies involved in each game and the physics principles that underlie each toy. The program also provides topics for discussion about resource use, the purpose of play, and comparisons between past and present life. All ages welcome! 

Program will take place in the Reading Room.
