Adventure to the Past: History Camp for Adults

Join Marisa Bozarth, Museum Curator of History, as we travel back to explore three decades in American history through stories, crafts, music, and other activities. This week will be exploring the Roaring 20s. The 1920s brought us the stock market crash, women’s rights, many products we still use today, the rise of Jazz, and fashion. We will delve into the decade by learning about some of the events that set the 20s apart and shaped our future, listening to era music, and making an era appropriate craft.

Scarecrow Contest

Our popular scarecrow contest is back again this year. Friends, neighbors, scout groups, businesses, and local organizations, have a great time and compete against each other to create “the Best Scarecrow Display.” Scarecrows of all varieties, some creepy and all creative, will line Park Avenue in Historic Smithville Park, in Eastampton, NJ for the month of October. Vote for your favorite scarecrow. Winners will be announced at 6:00 PM at this year’s Autumn Lands Festival on October 22nd.
