Mystic Seaport

( Handout )

It's "Liberty Days" during school Vacation Week at Mystic Seaport, Feb. 18 through 26. Come celebrate winter school vacation the way that sailors have enjoyed their days off from work. Start a fufu band by making your own banjo from a variety of household items; tour the last American wooden whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan; dig through a sailor's sea chest to discover what he might take to sea with him; and participate in storytime in the Children's Museum. All kids under age 17 receive free museum admission Feb. 18 through 26. Regular museum admission is $24 adults, $22 seniors/active military/college students with ID, $15 ages 6 through 17 and free for children ages 5 and under and museum members.
