Programs

Silly Sarah Spins a Tale
Grades K-1 (1 hour)
Hear our "sheepish" puppet tell the story about the Perkins House kids. This story will include a tour of the Perkins House. After the story the students will make a wooly craft.

Early Medicine
Grades 1-6 (1.5 hours)
See actual medical instruments from the 1700's and hear how they were used by Perkins Family Physician, Dr. Falt. Using student volunteers, we'll compare and contrast older Medieval medical treatments to Dr. Falt's treatments and to today's treatments.
