Saturday, Aug. 3, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. — Marblehead Museum’s Cultivating History
Explore the beautiful gardens of the Lee Mansion, which have been faithfully maintained by the Marblehead Garden Club since 1936. Learn about the museum’s period-appropriate plants and discover what uses — culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic — they had. Test your scavenger hunt skills for a chance to win a prize! Make your very own Victorian thaumatrope. Kids (and kids-at-heart) will love coloring botanical prints, planting seeds to take home, and taking part in other hands-on activities. Make the most of your visit by packing a picnic lunch to enjoy on the grounds! Admission will be $5 per individual and $10 per family (up to four people). Children ages 2 and younger can attend for free.
