Language
The Native American Language Program is appropriate for people of all ages. The program offers a basic introduction to the language used by many of the northeast woodland tribes. The program explains how many places and names in the New England region still carry the native language. People will leave the program with a better understanding of the language and a different view of the region.
Currency
Educational for all ages. The program is an introduction to early U.S. Dollar notes and some of colonial New England’s first currency (1616-1780). Learn about such coinage as the Massachusetts Cent, Janus (Massachusetts) Half Penny, New Hampshire Half Penny, New England Shilling, Pine Tree Shilling, Pine Tree Copper, Oak Tree Six Pence and the Oak Tree Two Pence. Experience the nation’s first coin, the 1776 Continental Dollar.
