I hope you are all doing well and wanted to let you know that registration deadlines for two of Riversdale's most popular programs are fast-approaching. If you're interested in either program, please call Riversdale at 301.864.0420 or email me at samantha.ferris@pgparks.com and we'll get you signed up! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We're bringing our Hands-on History series out of the past and into the present on Friday, March 30 for the Curator's Apprentice. Our education staff is really excited about this one! Kids 8-12 will create a reproduction craft from our collection, curate their own exhibit, do a hands-on activity with the museum's curator and collections manager, and even take a behind-the-scenes tour of the museum! Participants will check out places even most adults don't get to see! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Spaces are filling up and registration is required by March 16. $15/residents of Prince George's & Montgomery & $18/non-resident friends.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Later this spring, Ship's Company comes to Riversdale once again to regale guests with sea shanties and merriment during our annual Tavern Night on April 14. Guests 21 & over, come for good food (the menu tavern-style food inspired by period recipes chosen by our foodways historian!) and good company. This year, we're happy to have Franklin's on board - Brewmaster Mike Roy will be providing historically-inspired beverages for the evening. As always, this event is steadily selling out and reservations are required by March 30. $22/residents & $27/non-residents.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Stay tuned for:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tuesday, April 10 - Lecture: The War of 1812 in Maryland<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Seasonal Selections programs<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>That's all, folks!
