Living History: Free Family Art, Garden & History Programs at Ten Broeck

Join us for the Ten Broeck Mansion’s free summer family programs. Enjoy our four acres of gardens and grounds with free hands-on activities, all supplies included. Programs held outdoors (under tent) rain or shine – please dress accordingly. Our programs have something for all ages to enjoy.

All programs include hands-on art activity, history program, and themed tasting. All are free and open to families.

September 7: Jamming in Arbor Hill/Foods of North America. As the sweet Concord grapes ripen in our grape arbor, learn about jam and jelly making – get a taste of our famous Ten Broeck grape jelly! Make an up-cycled grape vine mosaic to take home.

Please check our other program listings for STEAM programs, bulb planting, and more into December 2024.
