School Visits and Tours
Pound Ridge Historical Society's programs offer something for everyone and are focused on sharing and celebrating the rich heritage of Pound Ridge.
Nursery School Visit
Our volunteers take a trunk full of interesting artifacts and toys from our collection to the Pound Ridge Community Church Play School and talk about how it was to grow up in this town long ago. Joining the children in singing nursery rhymes familiar to us all brings a joyful end to the day.
PRES 3rd Graders Tour
Third grade classes enjoy a historic bus tour of Pound Ridge in the fall, stopping to visit a landmarked house before ending up at the museum for a lesson about the one-room schoolhouses. Each student is given a booklet describing the tour, including a map to guide their own families on the same tour later on.
PRES 4th Graders Visit
Each year, 4th grade classes walk over and visit the Pound Ridge Museum for a lesson about Pound Ridge’s history. Fun activities such as a scavenger hunt in the permanent exhibit to find interesting, fun facts about their town are planned.
History Tours
In May 2023, the Society arranged a guided bus tour of five antique homes in Pound Ridge. The tour was followed by a lively cocktail reception at Conant Hall and special museum access.
