Get your Hands on History

Check out the Hands-on-History at King Manor Museum on May 16.

This fun drop-off event provides children with the opportunity to learn all about Rufus King and his love of books. He owned more than 3,000. Take a tour of the museum, then create a book and decorate it with the 19th-century technique of paper marbleizing.
