Family and Community Day: Make Your Own Silhouettes!

Join us at Morris-Jumel Mansion’s January Family Day for a fun and creative journey into the past! Families will learn about the history of silhouette art, a popular craft in the 1700s and 1800s, and create their own paper silhouettes using simple materials. Whether you trace a loved one’s profile or design a unique shape, this activity is perfect for kids and adults alike. Decorate your creation with colorful frames and take home a keepsake inspired by history. Don’t miss this chance to make memories and connect with early American traditions! Materials provided on a first come first served basis.
