Davidsonville Historic State Park April Programs Kicking in High Gear!!!
Davidsonville Historic State Park invites you to join us for any and all of the upcoming park programs. Most programs are free but advanced registration for these events may be required. Please call, email, or visit the park to sign up.
Cemetery Walk and Talk, April 8th , 2017
2:00-3:30p.m.
Dust off your investigative skills and join the park interpreter for a trip to the past. Together we’ll uncover the cemeteries of Davidsonville and who calls the park their final resting place. Come dig up some new information about burial practices and unearth the truth about some of the scary stories that haunt Davidsonville. Bring good walking shoes and dress for the weather.
Meeting Place: Visitor Center
Historic Games and Old Time Fun, April 9st, 2017
1:00-3:00 p.m.
The weather’s warming up and the mosquitos aren’t back yet. Bring whole family out for a fun afternoon at Davidsonville and see how kids of all ages kept themselves entertained two hundred years ago. Relay races, the game of graces, toys, and other activities will provide opportunities to face off against family, friends, and fellow park visitors.
Meeting Place: Behind Visitor Center
Leather Craft Workshop: Saturday, April 15th
1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Cost: $15.00 per person.
If you can imagine it, you can make it. Long before big box stores made shopping easy, homemade was the way to get many common personal items. Shoes, bags, belts, wallets, bracelets, and more all were made by working animal hide leather. Join the park interpreter and make a leather-craft item of your own in this beginners’ workshop. All materials and instruction will be provided to make your choice of pouch, loose change tray, or wristband. Space is limited, so ready your creativity and call the park to sign-up soon.
Meeting Place: Education Center
