Presented by Carla Messinger, the Director of Native American Heritage Programs

The Lenni Lenape were the first inhabitants of eastern Pennsylvania and parts of New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware.

We will explore the life and times of these peaceful, progressive people, comparing and contrasting their social customs, history, family life & much more with those of the Europeans and Colonial Americans of their time.

This program features a lecture/demonstration and hands-on interactive exhibits!

Registration is required to attend.  Elementary school-aged kids, tweens, teens, adults & families are welcome to participate in this program!
