Event Type

Stop by Senate House State Historic Site on Saturday October 12th from 1-3pm for a FREE drop-in activity and craft your own Native American inspired Wampum! Wampum shells held great spiritual power for many Native Peoples, and presenting these belts made of ornate beads often symbolized a relationship of exchange during treaties and historical events. Site staff will host a craft table by our museum building for visitors to try their hand at making their own history inspired wampum. This activity is rain or shine and runs while supplies last.
