All programs take place in Westport:

  • At the old one-room schoolhouse – The Adams Academy (Morningside Ave. North)
  • In the old Wheeler House kitchen – at WHS (25 Avery Place)

 

Important:

·        Pick just one or several dates and programs

·        Each of the nine (9) programs will offer a different craft activity.
