Spots still available! Staatsburgh State Historic Site presents Skull & Bones, an hour-long interactive, nature-based program for families and children on Jul...y 18 at 11 a.m. and August 2 at 11 a.m., held in the site’s classroom on the Hudson River (weather permitting). This structure has a nearly open-air environment with large openings for air-flow. It can be reached by a 5 minute walk from the mansion to the river. Skull & Bones offers children ages 6-9 the chance to become detectives and examine skulls from animals living in our region. They will learn the clues that reveal if each animal was a predator or prey animal, and show if it was an herbivore, a carnivore, or an omnivore. While the program is interactive, due to current safety restrictions, the lesson’s props and displays will be available for up-close and careful looking, but not for handling by participants. There is no charge to attend the program, but visitors must register in advance. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Attendance will be limited to aid in social distancing. In case of heavy rain, thunderstorms, or temperatures over 90 degrees, the program will be canceled. To register, visit Staatsburgh.Eventbrite.com
