Bring your pre-schooler (ages 3 to 5) to enjoy story and craft time at the Chimney Point State Historic Site on Friday, August 16, 2019, from 10:30 to 11:15 am. The program is free—part of the State's Bennington Battle Day holiday.

The program this time relates to this year's exhibit from the Lake Champlain Basin Program and Heritage Partnership, "Salmon and People in a Changing World," about the return of Atlantic Salmon to Lake Champlain. We'll have stories and the children can try their hand at "gyotaku," Japanese fish printing. Feel free to bring a t-shirt that can be printed on.

A parent or responsible adult must be with the child. Well-behaved siblings are welcome. Bring snacks if you like.

The Chimney Point State Historic Site is located at 8149 VT Route 17 in Addison, at the Vermont foot of the Lake Champlain Bridge. Call 802-759-2412 for information. The site is regularly open Wednesday through Sunday and Monday holidays through October 13, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
