Homeschool Day: Chocolate in Colonial America
March 2, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 1:30 pm
An event every week that begins at 9:30 am on Thursday, repeating until March 30, 2023
Candy bars, KISSES and truffles – the sweet chocolate candy we enjoy today is very different from the chocolate consumed by colonists in the 1700s. Step back in time and learn how chocolate was made in Colonial America and the unique ingredients that were used.
Try your hand at grinding cocoa beans, look at original recipes and participate in other hands-on activities while discovering the important role chocolate played in the founding of America. Every participant will make their own colonial-inspired chocolate medallions that can be eaten or made into a special drink!
Homeschool tickets also include admission to the museum and an educational scavenger hunt through the museum exhibits. Chocolate in Colonial America is geared towards 2nd – 8th grade students, but it is a fun, educational experience for students in all grades!
