PICTURING PRINCETON

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2010

10:00AM- 11:00AM

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 walking tour.  Children will make their own postcards to document the transformations.  The tour is for children ages 6 and up; parents must accompany their child or children. $5 per child, $4 for members; adult chaperones are free. Please call 609.921.6748 ext 100 or email jeanette@princetonhistory.org to register as space is limited to 15 children.
