Kids get their Hands-on-History at King Manor Museum

Children can take a step back in time with Hands-on-History on Feb. 4 at King Manor Museum.

This old house provides children a glimpse of what houses used to be — after learning the hows and whys, children can make a house out of toothpicks and build their very own window scene, including a Greek Key motif like the ones in Rufus King’s parlor.

Hands-On History on Feb. 4, 1 pm to 4 pm. Free.

King Manor Museum [Rufus King Park, 89th and Archer avenues in Jamaica, (718) 206–0545; www.nycgovparks.org].
