Storytelling at Arrowhead

Family Friendly, Literature, Lectures, and Talks, Performing Arts & Entertainment

,

December 7 | 10:00 am - 2:00 pm  

Join us for a unique experience to record your own stories! In celebration of the centennial of the publication of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, we will collect stories of grandparents and grandchildren. Billy Budd was discovered and published by Herman Melville’s granddaughter, Eleanor, who shared a special relationship with her grandfather. We will record special stories of grandparents and grandchildren, told throughout Herman Melville’s home. Together with partners from the Housatonic Heritage Oral History Center at Berkshire Community College and the Berkshire Athenaeum, we will create a story scavenger hunt for children and their families, which will include tasty treats and art projects. Free.
