Mercer Museum







We live in a highly historic area. I enjoy taking the kids to see historical things, but with 4 kids, the admission price adds up pretty quickly. SO, I'm learning how to find free events or times. Last Friday we went to the Mercer Museum which is a castle filled (literally) with tools and simple machines that people in early America used to function in every day life prior to the industrial age.
I'm pretty sure that John and I enjoyed/got more out of it than the kids did, but at least it was a fun evening as a family...

So, what deal did you get?
It is always nice to go and experience something as a family. Just being together all going in the same direction (hopefully) is a nice thing.

I went to the Mercer Museum website and signed up to receive their email newsletters. In the most recent one under special events, it listed "First Friday in Doylestown" The whole town was alive with activity including the museum being open for free from 6-9pm. I was glad it was at a time when we could go. Sometimes things like that are on Sunday afternoons which is a hard time for us to do anything.
