Marshall Children Young Docent Program

JOIN THE MARSHALL CHILDREN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM AT THE GLEBE HOUSE MUSEUM AND BE A PART OF HISTORY THAT LIVES!

Woodbury:  Become part of living history at the Glebe House Museum & Gertrude Jekyll Garden - join the Marshall Children Young Docent Program.  Here is your chance to learn about life for families living here in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War.  You will learn to conduct guided tours of the museum in period costumes. You will learn about colonial kitchen gardens & planting, candle making, quill writing, campfire cooking, and other colonial crafts. You will visit area museums and have lots of fun immersed in the history of the historic house museum on the most historic street in Woodbury. 

The Marshall Children Young Docent program is named for the nine children of John and Sarah Marshall who lived in the Glebe House from 1771-1786.  These young docents are our greatest ambassadors in the community and participate in events like the Memorial Day Parade, Connecticut Open House Day, All Hollow’s Eve, and the Woodbury Christmas Festival.

The program is open to children 6 and up and meets on select Thursday afternoons from 4:00 – 5:30. The upcoming Fall Session begins on Thursday, September 26, and will include six meetings and two special events.  

Session Dates: September 26, October 10, October 24, November 14. December 5, and December 19.  

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet children from all over the region who share your interest in local history.  You will become a significant part of the museum experience and enrich those who visit by sharing your enthusiasm and new-found knowledge.
