MAKE YOUR OWN STOVE-PIPE HAT - JUST LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN! In honor of
President’s Day, President Lincoln’s Cottage is offering an
opportunity for children and their families to answer the question,
“What do you do with a chance?”
As President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln took many chances
in the hopes of unifying the country. At times, Lincoln felt his ideas
were just out of his reach and worried that he might fail. With some
courage and support, he developed his brave ideas by taking notes and
keeping them safe in his signature stovepipe hat.
Join us for an interactive program (45 minutes) on taking chances and
create your own Lincoln hat to hold your brave ideas.
PROGRAM INCLUDES:
* Program lasts 45 minutes
* Group reading of _What Do You Do with a Chance? _ Written by Kobi
Yamada and illustrated by Mae Besom
* Hands-on activity creating LINCOLN STOVE-pipe hats that you can
take home!
ADMISSION NOTE: Any child* participating in the program needs a
ticket. Adults or other children not participating in the program do
not need to purchase tickets.
*Program was developed for ages 4-9, but children of all ages are
welcome to participate. One ticket covers the cost of supplies for one
Lincoln hat.
When guests arrive, please check-in at the Museum Store located in the
