Winter/Spring Events for Children

After-School Programs…
The heritage of Darien is highlighted at monthly After-School Programs, intended to educate as well as entertain. Offered throughout the year, programs are open to youths 7 and older at the Bates-Scofield House, unless otherwise noted, from 3:45 – 4:45 pm. Activities are chosen as a means of explaining 18th century lifestyles and pastimes. Advance reservations through the society and a minimal materials fee.
