Join us in celebrating the opening of the Tate House Museum’s 2024 season on Saturday, June 22 nd from 12 noon to 4:00 PM. We’ll be doing colonial up big with fun activities for the whole family. Our special guest is colonial reenactor Michael Dekker who will be demon-strating how structures were built in the 18 th century including the hand-hewing of logs using colonial tools and basic timber framing joinery. Dekker is the author of French and Indian Wars in Maine and will be engaging visitors with his extensive knowledge of the time period.
Colonial games and activities for children will be offered as well as tours of the house featuring our new temporary art installation by Ashley Page. There will be other colonial-focused activities such as a colonial play Tate Family & Neighbors, architectural tours, colonial displays, and more! See tatehouse.org for schedule details.
Entrance fees are $18 for adults, $8 for children 6-12 (under 6 free), $40 for families with up to 3 children. Members of Tate House Museum are $15 / $5 / $35. Come join in the fun and experience this unique mu-seum with its colonial trappings LIVE! Experience our new, more inclusive narratives featuring the work and life of a domestic servant who was likely enslaved and Wabanaki baskets representing colonial trade.
