Weekend Workshops: Make Your Own Scarecrow

The scarecrow is a popular symbol of the fall alongside other farming images like pumpkins, apples, and the autumn harvest. Across the world, scarecrows are deeply connected to many cultures and are viewed as everything from fun decorative art, scary monsters, and divine all-knowing beings.

On Saturday, October 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the Wilton Historical Society will hold its very own scarecrow making workshop for kids. Participants will assemble miniature scarecrows using hay, burlap, felt, and yarn while Museum Educator Catherine Lipper talks about their history and popularity.

Suggested for ages 6-10. $10 per child for members and $15 per child for non-members.
