Storrowton’s Little House Family Day Experience the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder at Little House Family Day Saturday, July 14, at Storrowton Village Museum. Wilder, best known for penning the Little House on the Prairie books, had adventures on the American frontier that have captivated the imaginations of chil- dren for well over 100 years, whether on the written page or via the popular television series based on her books. Different 19th century activities will take place throughout the day, so guests can enjoy a whole day of fun or participate in a few favorites. All will be inspired by the Little House books, like washing laundry on a washboard. Visitors can also play old-fashioned prairie games on the Village green, learn about foraging on the frontier, and make corn husk dolls. Bring your best detective skills because this year will include a new scavenger hunt and anyone who completes the hunt will receive a small prize. The day’s special guest will be Laura Ingalls historical interpreter, Rosalie Silliman. She will give two presentations, including one in the Village’s one-room schoolhouse, for a taste of what Laura’s life was like as a schoolteacher. Tickets for Little House Family Day are $8 in advance via storrowtonvillage.com (through 7/13/18) or $10 on the day of the event. All children must be accompanied by an adult. For more information, visit storrowtonvillage.com/p/tours-and-events/little-house-family-day or call 413-205-5051. THE WESTFIELD NEWS WWW.THEWESTFIELDNEWS.COM THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2018 - PAGE 7
