From Tuesday, July 22 to Thursday, July 24, Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site will host a creative writing workshop for children aged 10 to 14. The three-day workshop will be held at Schuyler Mansion from 9AM to 1PM each day.
The workshop will feature a tour of Schuyler Mansion as well as immersive activities, such as playing 18th century games, handling reproduction objects, a craft, and brainstorming story ideas in the rooms of the historic mansion.
Children will learn the history of 18th century figures, as well as the basics of writing historical fiction. They will write one short story, which will be typed and printed for them to illustrate and take home on the last day of the workshop. The program is free, but spots are limited and must be reserved by calling and speaking with site staff. Please call (518) 434-0834 to make a reservation for your child.
