Silk Saturday at Historic Northampton Touch, observe, sketch, and learn about lives of three of our native silk moth caterpillars -- lunas, prometheas and cecropias. They are related to Chinese silkmoths, which provided the raw material for Northampton's 19th century silk industry and are the source of silk clothing today. We'll meet in Historic Northampton’s garden and then visit the exhibit to see a special display of clothing and objects related to the 19th century silk industry in Northampton. Unravel a cocoon while unraveling the past! Ages 3+ |
