The Junior Apprentice Program is a five-day session that offers children ages 9 – 12 to experience the life of an 1800s child. Participants of the program will dress up in pre-Civil War period clothing, learn historic crafts and perform old-time farm chores, make ice cream in a hand cranked ice cream maker, learn lessons in an 1845 schoolhouse, learn and play 1860s games, make a scarecrow and practice old time military drills.

You can choose one of three sessions: June 26 – 30; July 10 – 14; Aug. 7 – 11. Capacity for each session is limited and there is a fee of $250 for the session. For more information and applications, call 516-572-8400.

Old Bethpage Village Restoration provides visitors with a unique and wonderful opportunity to step back in time and experience life in a recreated mid-19th Century American village set on more than 200 acres. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Entrance fees are: $10 for adults, $7 for children (5 – 12), seniors and volunteer firefighters. Old Bethpage Village Restoration is located at 1303 Round Swamp Road in Old Bethpage (Exit 48 of the Long Island Expressway).
