Elementary school-aged children are invited to get into the Easter spirit at the Webster Museum on Saturday, April 4. Mrs. Nesbitt, a retired Webster elementary school teacher, will lead a craft and a discussion about basket history, followed by a look at the Webster Museum’s Webster Basket Factory display. The activity will culminate with an Easter Egg hunt through the museum.
The event takes place this Saturday April 4 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the museum, 18 Lapham Park. Parents must remain in the museum during the activities. Please, please, please register here, and do so soon, because there’s only room for 20 children, so you’ll want to ensure your kids have a spot.
The medical time-traveler’s guide to Webster
On Saturday, April 19 at 2 p.m., the Webster Museum will present a fascinating talk about the history of medicine in Webster.
Webster Museum volunteer and local historian Dr. Colin Scott will talk about historic medical devices and the lives of Webster practitioners in the 19th century.
Step into a 19th-century time machine and rediscover a forgotten global empire. Witness the raw evolution of Webster from untamed woodlands to an international agricultural Mecca, told through the gripping lives and changing medicine of three legendary local physicians. Join us to uncover how the fame of Webster fueled the world and paved the way for the suburb we call home today.
No registration is necessary. Refreshments will be served.
Look for the Museum!
Make sure to stop by the Webster Museum’s table at this year’s Community Arts Day. coming up on Saturday, April 11 (look for more details about this event in a few days). They’ve always got a fun table filled with old-tyme games and historical oddities (like a dial telephone). It’s a delight for the children and entertaining to watch them try to figure out how to work the telephone.
Community Arts Day will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Webster Schroeder High School.
