Victorian Wash Day!
Come along and watch a live & interactive demonstration of how villagers in the 1850's washed their clothes.
No washing machines around in those days, so come learn about the way they did it!
This demonstration is not only great to get kids involved with history, but also for adults to learn something new.
Free with admission. Purchase tickets at Admissions Desk at Howick Historical Village. Please have vaccine passes ready & please wear masks.
