Looking for a field trip with an eye on history?
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum in Morristown, N.J., will present two programs this month for homeschoolers. Programs cost $8 per student, with free admission for parents of participating children. Programs run during traditional school hours.
There will be two sessions for the first program, "Abraham Lincoln Remembered." In this program, students will trace Lincoln's whistlestop tour of the Union on his way to his inauguration in 1861. Students also will learn about historically significant events of 1861, including the role of detective Allan Pinkerton in protecting the president-elect, in the days before the Secret Service was established.
The second program is "Walking Through the Secret Garden." Activities in this program are based on the book "The Secret Garden," by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
There is one session per month from February through May.
Preregistration is required for all programs. Register by calling (973) , Ext. 16, or by sending e-mail to cwinslow@maccullochhall.org. Include names and ages of children, choice of program, and contact information.
