History Kids Club –

The Mineral Th at Mattered

HOWELL – History Kids Club is an interactive program that invites children and young adults, ages 5 to 12, into the Historic Village at Allaire to experience history first hand. Club members learn all about what it meant to live and work in an industrial village like the Howell iron works in the 1830s by participating in hands-on activities that range from basket weaving and butter making to historical nature walks. Parents and children alike are encouraged to join us as we explore the past in this fun and educational museum series! History Kids Club meets once a month by the Green Door of the Row Home.

The mineral that mattered: Join us on an iron hunt!

What’s the big deal about bog iron? Though it may sound like a humble mineral, bog iron was one the most important natural resources in New Jersey in the 1830s. Join our corps of junior historians on Sunday, June 9th as we learn all about bog iron ore and its importance to James P. Allaire, whose entrepreneurial ventures gave rise to the settlement we now know as The Historic Village at Allaire. Play iron hide-and-seek as we visit several of our historic buildings to see how iron was used, then walk down to the blast furnace to see where the magic happened! Finally, we’ll head down the bluff to the bog iron trail, where you’ll get a chance to try raising some bog iron ore for yourself! So get ready, grab your rain boots, and let’s get mucky! Be prepared to get wet and be in some water. Each participant will go home with a mineral sample.

Adults will have their own fun as they join attendees in our activities.

The mineral that mattered runs on July 9 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets cost $10 per child and are non-refundable. Space is limited–register early! Register at eventbrite.com/o/the-historic-village-atallaire-13446907031.
