This week @ White Memorial Foundation!

White Memorial Foundation in Litchfield has planned a number of cool events for kids and adults this week. There are after-school programs for Grades 1-3 and 4-6 on March 21 to help kids beat the school vacation spring blues!  Each session will bring a new adventure, whether it's exploring a new part of White Memorial property, meeting a live animal, or taking part in an outdoor activity. Sessions run from 3:45 pm - 5 pm and parents are welcome to stay!  In addition, March 23-29 is kids get in free week when accompanied by an adult.

On Saturday, March 24  at 2 pm journey to Easter Island with Gerri Griswold.  In sixth grade Gerri Griswold read Norwegian explorer Thor Hyerdahl's "Kon Tiki". It never left her system. Griswold finally answered the calling in October 2017 by celebrating her 60th birthday on the world's most remotely populated island with her good friend and travel obsessed colleague, Liz Frazier - Zygmont. Most people venture out to this tiny volcanic rock perched at the very edge of French Polynesia for two or three days. After seven days Frazier- Zygmont and Griswold concurred that Easter Island's dazzling facets are so abundant that two weeks should be the minimum excursion Spend some time reliving their remarkable journey. You'll not only see some pretty amazing photographs but learn that Isla de Pascua, Easter Island, Rapa Nui is much more than the Moai statues which define it for so many.

The Museum will be closed on March 30 Good Friday but a early spring walk is planned through the Solnit Parcel to Camp Columbia on March 31.

White Memorial Foundation is located on 80 White Hall Road in Litchfield.
