Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Weekend, as we honor Indigenous communities and recognize their cultures and contributions through talks, hands-on activities, and an audio guide highlighting female Lenape Saunksquas (Chieftains) and their role in the 15th century Dutch-Indigenous alliance. Through family-friendly programs, learn about the important role of plants and food in Indigenous cultures and purchase handmade items from local Indigenous artists. Specialty themed items will be available throughout the weekend in the Café.

We are open for the holiday on Monday, October 13 and admission is free to all visitors. Please check the event schedule as not all activities are available throughout the weekend.
