11:00 AM		 SPECIAL TOUR FOR CHILDREN: PICTURING PRINCETON. It's hard for kids to believe, but once upon a time horses whinnied in Palmer Square, a four-story hotel towered over the western end of Nassau Street, and Bainbridge House looked like. . . Bainbridge House. HSP invites children to learn how these and other historic Princeton sites have changed over the years by taking a special summer walking tour. Children will make their own postcards to document the transformations. The tour is limited to 15 children; parents must accompany their child or children. The cost is $5 per child; $4 for members of HSP. Adult chaperones are free. For ages 6 and up. Please call 609.921.6748 ext 100 for more information.
