Summer on the Street

It's a summer of fun for children and adults at Historic Huguenot Street. We offer two week-long programs for children ages 9 to 13 and one weekend program for adults and teens ages 16 and up.

Time Travelers Week for Kids

Be a time traveler! Each day, participants will travel back in time, exploring history through arts, crafts, food and games. Participants will create art projects and put together an exhibit of their work at the end of the week. They will also play games, make food, and visit the Huguenot Street houses.

Archaeology Weekend for Adults and Teens

This weekend is aimed at allowing adults and families to take part in the exciting work of archaeology on Huguenot Street. A pit will be opened under the supervision of a professional archaeologist, and participants will discover, examine, and interpret artifacts. There are separate morning and afternoon sessions: 9:00am-12:00pm & 1:00pm-4:00pm. Enrollment is by session; sessions can be combined. Families with children 9+ can sign up for the Saturday afternoon session.

Archaeology Week for Kids

Be an archaeologist on Huguenot Street! Participants will examine evidence from a variety of people who lived on the street including the Native Americans, the Huguenots, and the Dutch, and will excavate a pit along with a professional archaeologist. Paticipants will also interpret the artifacts they find and design an exhibit for Archaeology Day at Historic Huguenot Street.  Discoveries from Summer 2007 are currently on display in the Children's Room of the Elting Memorial Library in New Paltz..
