Marshall Children Young Docent Program

Become part of living history at the Glebe House Museum & Gertrude Jekyll Garden – join the Marshall Children Young Docent Program. Here is your chance to really learn about what life was like for families who lived here in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. You will learn to conduct guided tours of the museum in period costumes and will learn about colonial kitchen gardens & planting, candle making, quill writing, campfire cooking and other colonial crafts. You will visit area museums, and have lots of fun immersed in the history
of the historic house museum on the most historic street in Woodbury.


The Marshall Children Young Docent program is named for the nine children of John and Sarah Marshall who lived in the Glebe House from 1771-1786. These young docents are our greatest ambassadors in the community, and participate in events like the Memorial Day Parade, Connecticut Open House day, All Hollow’s Eve and the Woodbury Christmas Festival.

The program is open to children 6 and up and meets on select Thursday afternoons from 4:00 – 5:30. The upcoming Spring Session begins on Thursday, April 11 and will include five meetings and two special events. *All CDC and State Health & Safety guidelines will be followed.

Session Dates: April 11 & 25, May 9 & 23, and June 6.
