Fanny's Weekend
Courtesy
Favorite daughter Frances Margaret Allen (that’s Fanny, to you) gets her own moment in the sun at Ethan Allen Homestead Museum in Burlington. Vermont residents enjoy free admission to the history-happy event, which features guided garden and house tours, a flax harvest, and a reenactor portraying Fanny herself. Short film screenings, book signings and lectures add to the entertainment for mom and dad, while authentic activities such as making a stone tool, ash pounding and deciphering cursive handwriting put 18th-century life in perspective for the whole fam — and might make modern kiddos a little more grateful for modern conveniences on the drive home.
