The event offers children a chance to discover the uses of various objects in Bulloch Hall’s kitchen. Participants can complete other kitchen chores, describing their materials, shapes, sizes and weights.
Children will be encouraged to imagine performing these jobs and consider how difficult they might have been, comparing them to modern-day equivalents.
In addition to kitchen activities, attendees can tour the historic house and explore the grounds of Bulloch Hall at 180 Bulloch Ave.
The home built in 1839 is noteworthy as the home of Maj. James Stephens Bulloch, one of Roswell’s first settlers and the maternal grandfather of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th U.S. president. It was here on Dec. 22, 1853, that Roosevelt’s parents married.
