Most people take for granted that they have electricity in their house. But what was life like for people who lived over 100 years ago in a time before homes were powered by electricity?

The North Berrien Historical Museum will feature a children’s program that illustrates what life was like in the home during wintertime as the daylight hours grew shorter. Activities will include hand-dipped candle making, writing with a quill by candlelight, and using wax to seal an envelope.

No RSVP is required for this free program, which is recommended for children ages 6–12. Please contact peter@northberrienhistory.org with any questions.
