Interactions with the Colonial Period

Step through time into the colonial period at the John Brown House Museum and learn about life in 18th-century Providence. This program uses stations inside the house to offer interactive and experiential learning with sensory objects, discussion, and object analysis.

There is also a virtual tour available that uses images from inside the museum and a guided discussion to offer a deeper look and new ways of reading objects, people, and our history. This program is led by a museum educator and can be hosted by the RIHS’s Zoom account or the classroom’s Google Meet account. In addition, an asynchronous tour is available, with educators receiving a series of short, pre-recorded videos.
