Victorian Skating Party: A Family Craft Program

Mills Cove, on the Hudson River at Staatsburgh, was a popular spot for

Mrs. Mills and her family, staff, and the residents of the hamlet, to

enjoy ice skating. Using historical images from Mills Cove and

paintings of skaters, children will make a diorama that recreates a

turn-of-the century ice-skating party, complete with movable figures

who seem to skate across the ice and hot chocolate for participants!

The 60-minute workshop is appropriate for children ages 6 and up when accompanied by an adult. An optional walk from the mansion to Mills Cove will follow the workshop.
