Norlands open Tuesdays, Thursdays
LIVERMORE — Throughout July and August, the Washburn-Norlands Living History Center will be open every Tuesday and Thursday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. for “Living History Tours.” The last full tour starts at 3 p.m.
Visitors to the site are engaged by people who portray a local person, someone you might have met had you visited in 1870.
It could be someone cooking in the farmer’s cottage, if it’s not too hot, or a Washburn granddaughter, Ada Washburn or Anna Maud Washburn, in the 1867 Washburn Mansion, or the school ma’am in the one-room schoolhouse who will encourage you to practice your mental arithmetic and penmanship using a quill pen under her watchful eye.
$10 adult, $6 age 12 and under. No appointments are needed. For more information visit www.norlands.org or call 897-4366.
