Twain and Stowe's Holiday Time Machine, November 21-22

On Saturday, Nov. 21, and Sunday, Nov. 22, at "Twain and Stowe's Holiday Time Machine" in the Museum Center, we collaborate with the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in a holiday extravaganza. The Time Machine toy and hobby shop of Manchester will allow visitors to sample electric trains, doll houses, card and board games, marbles, toy soldiers, and blocks; the Stowe Visitors' Center will feature children's tours of the Stowe house, carriage rides and a petting zoo. Santa's role: the traditional one of asking kids what gifts they'd like for the holidays. Holiday food and drink will be available. Admission is $5 per person -- free to ticket-holders for house tours.

The event goes on during both museums' regular hours: 9:30 to 5:30 on Saturday and noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
