Schermerhorn-Amerika children’s programme

Children discover in a playful way how the name Schermerhorn came to be associated with a place on the other side of the ocean.

There’s plenty to do. Visit the exhibition about families with the surname Schermerhorn, go on a treasure hunt or listen to adventure stories during the story-telling session. Creative children can draw, colour, write with a quill or get creative with wood.

Children can also think about what they would take with them if they were to emigrate themselves, dress up and go in search of places in New York called Schermerhorn.

The programme is suitable for young explorers and older children who enjoy searching, creating, listening and using their imagination. A fun activity for the whole family that brings history and creativity together.
