QUEENS COUNTY MUSEUM

Giving the past a future

Last updated January 4, 2010

Built in 1980, the Queens County Museum has become a vibrant and enduring testimonial to the cultural history of Queens County
…a history intrinsically linked to the sea and forest.

A Costumed Interpreter will lead your class through Liverpool's Old Burial Ground. Using excerpts from the Perkins Diary you will discover the burial practices of the times. Why are some bodies buried in the middle of busy streets? Did you know children acted as pall bearers? Hear the tragic stories of some of our founding families.
Program Length: 1.5  hour.   Gr 4 - 12
