Winter Time Traveler: Life by Candlelight

  • North Berrien Historical Museum 300 Coloma Avenue Coloma, MI, 49038 United States (map)

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?

This children’s program will illustrate 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.

This program is recommended for children ages 6–12. RSVP is required, please call (269) 468-3330 to register your child for the 10:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. program that will take place on Tuesday, January 2.
