Themed Field Trip
Adages
Thursday, April 23 from 10 am - 2 pm
"Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite."
"Strike while the iron is hot."
We've all heard popular adages and sayings, but what is the history behind them? Do they even mean what we think they mean!? Interpreters will share famous adages and invite you to explore the mystery behind them with hands-on activities and lessons around the village.
