SUMMARY:Storytelling at the Berkshire Athenaeum

We will record special stories of grandparents and grandchildren\, told throughout the Berkshire Athenaeum. 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. All participants will receive a copy of their recorded stories. FREE \nThis program is funded in part by Mass Humanities\, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
