Noah Webster House Tour & Town Meeting Class

Noah Webster House Tour & Town Meeting Class April 14, 2010 at 1-3:30pm 227 South Main St.,  West Hartford, Ct.  860-521-5362 Town Meeting Class:  What issues led to the American Revolution? At a 1774 town meeting, Hartford colonists voted to stop trade with England in response to policies that they thought were unfair. Role-playing Patriots versus Loyalists, the students move through our historic house while discussing the issues of the day with our costumed museum teachers. Then they have a chance to vote during their own 1774 town meeting. Use of pre-visit materials required.  Also, Meet Mr. Webster:  Why is Noah Webster so important? Let him tell you - in his own words! Students have a dialogue with Noah when our brand new costumed character shares his accomplishments and fields students' questions about his life.  Visit www.noahwebsterhouse.org for more information. $11/student (price reduction if more than 21 students sign up).  Grades 3-8 recommended.  Pre-visit materials available.  RSVP to Kim Cashman at 860-875-0799 or kcashman3@snet.net by April 1st.
