The Three Sisters - Native Food Then and Now: A Vacation Week Family Program

During April vacation week, bring your family to the Jackson Homestead and Museum for The Three Sisters: Native Food Then and Now, a vacation week family program.  The "three sisters" are corn, beans, and squash, which were staple crops of this area’s first inhabitants. Learn about how these crops were planted together, try a traditional snack still eaten today, and take home seedlings to plant your own “three sisters” at home.

Cost: $20 per family ($15 for Historic Newton members) includes museum admission, snack, and materials.

Prepaid registration is required, limit 25; call 617.796.1450 to register.
