From A Child's Perspective: Sunnyside

Children explore the world of Washington Irving's Sunnyside on Thursdays in August. Parents and children are invited to take a specially tailored tour of the home of Washington Irving, presented with a child's eye view of the 19th century in a highly engaging, educational program. Enjoy tales of Sunnyside's young residents, an interactive scavenger hunt, hands-on activities, and displays of period toys. A new craft activity is offered each week.

New this year, museum educators Maeve Montalvo and Dina Rose Friedman will take children and their adult companions on interactive outdoor explorations of Sunnyside and its landscape. The activity will occur once a day at 3pm and will last 45 minutes to an hour. Each week a different aspect of Sunnyside will be investigated. Children will become detectives unearthing clues to discover the different stories that Sunnyside tells.
