Victorian Christmas

Outreach
Is Historic Charlton Park too far away? Is your budget tight? We can come to you! Using "Mystery Artifacts," students and adults alike learn how read an object - asking the questions "who? what? when? why? where? how?" to discover an historic object's true function and historical significance. (Cost varies)
