About the Event
Come play the 18th century way! Join educators from Clermont State Historic Site as they teach kids and their grownups how to play three popular games from the 1700s. Test your agility and gracefulness with Graces, dodge whoever is “It” in Blindman’s Bluff, and stump your friends with Pass the Slipper. These beloved games were favorites among New York’s youth over 250 years ago and we think you’ll enjoy them too!
