Kids hitting that midsummer slump? Come on down to Hale Farm where kids can participate in multiple craft tables, enjoy story time, and cool off with drinks from a root beer garden! Crafts include: make your own postcard, color your own sampler, create your own privateer treasure map and a reading of “President Taft is Stuck in the Bath” by Mac Barnett, at 3:00 pm. $5/child, free to Historic Beverly members at the Family level and above.

The weekly Gentile beer garden is scheduled  2 – 6 pm.
