Stop by the Senate House grounds on Friday, August 8, from 2:00 pm-4:00 pm, to craft your paper made 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 on our grounds where visitors can try their hand at making their own history-inspired paper wampum belts. This family-friendly drop-in activity is free, weather dependent, and while supplies last.
