Hands-On History Day on July 18. It's the same weekend as the Portage Downtown Arts Walk, so tell all your friends and come on out for an art-filled day!
The Historic Indian Agency House, outside of Portage, returns with another Hands-On History event on Saturday, July 18. In keeping with the museum’s 2009 focus on ceramics, this fun and educational program will concentrate on Early American and Native American pottery traditions. Participants will tour the Agency House to learn all about pottery on the Wisconsin frontier – where it came from, how it was made, and what it was used for – and then make their own clay pot using traditional Native American techniques. There are two sessions available, both with the same activities: 10 am to 12 pm, and 12 pm to 2 pm. Space is limited to 15 participants per session; registration is encouraged but not required. This event is recommended for children ages 6-15, but all are welcome. The cost of the event is $3 each, which includes the tour and all craft materials. We hope to see you there!
Please call 608-742-6362 with any question.
