Wistariahurst has been alive with the pitter-patter of little feet and the buzz of children’s chatter since it was built in 1868 and the seven Skinner children roamed the halls. The museum currently offers unique activities for children to become acquainted with local history, from the dinosaur age to the industrial revolution, their own family’s origins and history, textiles, music, the arts, and so much more.
