Using the Village's restored antique buildings as their learning laboratory, children will get a chance to "Look Back" in time as they are guided through a variety of hands-on activities which were part of the 19th century child's workday: candle dipping, blacksmithing, shoe pegging, textile arts, and quill pen calligraphy. Also, be sure to visit the Schoolmaster/Schoolmistress for a lesson in our one-room schoolhouse. "Look Back" is just one of several educational programs Storrowton offers during the school year.
