fave was the lock of George Washington's hair. See their

FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS-
The children were talking about all of the oddities for months
after. Self guided so you can move at your own pace.
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS- Some of the displays (and the reading
involved) were boring for the younger children so they wanted to
rush through areas that parents and older children would have liked
to have had more time in.

Whether your kids are history buffs or not, they are sure to find
something that interests them at Historic Cold Spring Village.
Wander around the 26 restored buildings that are laid out like a
1790s - 1840s village. Costumed interpreters go about the
daily life of a villager of the time and happily answer questions
and provide narrative about the time period. They seem
extremely knowledgeable. There is also an activity area
where children can make crafts and play games. Don't forget to
let the kids try on some of the old costumes!
FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS-
The interpreters were very animated and provided such interesting
narrative that all of the children were kept entertained.
There are lots of hands-on opportunities.
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS- The restaurants are a little pricey and
there is no picnic facility on-site.
