Make A Corn Husk Figure

Thursday, January 1, 2009 - Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Wherever corn was grown as a crop, children in both Native American and Colonial American families used husks to fashion dolls.  With a knowledgeable interpreter, fashion your own cornhusk figure - either boy or girl.  Learn the legend of the cornhusk figure -- why did it not have a face?  Participants receive a guided tour of the Walt Whitman Birthplace, including the room in which Whitman was born. 

$6.75/person (minimum fee $100.00) - Estimated Time 1.5 hours
