Description
Celebrate the coming of spring with backcountry settlers! Enjoy displays of eggs dyed with natural materials in a rainbow of colors. Try your hand at "egg picking" or decorate your own egg with 18th century designs scratched with a pin. Search for the hidden nest of the "Ostr Hase" (Easter Hare) to learn if the children have been good or bad this year. Discover the significance of a tansy pudding and why the first spring greens were considered "tonics."
