Time Traveling Tuesdays will take place from July 7 through August 18 from 10:30-11:30am. In honor of America 250, the program will take place each week at Hunter House, the Preservation Society’s Colonial property. Children will learn a little bit about Colonial history and connect their crafts to that time period. They will also earn a stamp in their Newport Mansions Passport! After receiving four stamps they will earn a prize.

Thursdays in the Garden will take place from July 9 to August 20 from 10:30-11:30am at Green Animals Topiary Garden in Portsmouth. Children will enjoy the outdoor space and gardens and learn more about nature and being creative with the outdoors. They can also earn a Green Animal stamp in their Newport Mansions Passport!

These programs are designed for ages 5-7; younger and older siblings are welcome!

As a part of post-program activities, children and their families are invited to play with the Newport Mansions-branded cornhole set that was made in partnership with Riverzedge Arts in Woonsocket. Celebrating over 20 years, Riverzedge Arts’ mission is to use innovative and work-based learning strategies to teach art, design and critical thinking to the youth of northern Rhode Island.

See Newport Mansions’ website for programming themes. Advanced registration for all is required.
