Print This PageOld Bethpage Village 19th Century Lifestyle Summer Program
This summer, children ages nine through 12 can travel back in time and experience that sort of life at Old Bethpage Village Restoration.
The Junior Apprentice Program provides a crash course in how youngsters on Long Island lived during the 19th century, set within the confines of the historic and unique village.
As part of the program, children will take part in a range of hands-on activities, including historic crafts; farm chores, school time in a one-room schoolhouse using slate board; and household activities such as churning butter, making ice cream, making a scarecrow and gathering eggs. Nineteenth-century games will also be featured, such as rolling hoops and shooting marbles. In addition, there will be military drills and the opportunity to dress in Civil War period clothing.
