Join us in celebrating the opening of the Tate House Museum’s 2024 season. We’ll be doing colonial up big with fun activities for the whole family.

Our special guest is colonial re-enactor Michael Dekker who will be demonstrating how structures were built in the 18th century including the hand-hewing of logs. Dekker is the author of French and Indian Wars in Maine and will be engaging visitors with his extensive knowledge of the time period.

Colonial games and activities for children will be offered as well as tours of the house featuring our new temporary art installation by Ashley Page. There will be other colonial-focused activities such as a colonial play Tate Family & Neighbors, architectural tours, colonial displays, and more!

Come join in the fun and experience this unique museum with its colonial trappings LIVE! Experience our new, more inclusive narratives featuring the work and life of a domestic servant who was likely enslaved and Wabanaki baskets representing colonial trade.
