Let’s play together! Salem Maritime and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Sites are continuing their popular preschool programming into late summer and early autumn. In addition, as part of Salem’s Haunted Happenings, there will be two live owl shows from Eyes on Owls for older children (ages 6 and up) and their families on Saturday, October 5 at 10:00AM and 11:30AM in St. Joseph Hall, 160 Derby Street.

At Salem Maritime, ‘Preschoolers in the Park’ take place on most Mondays and Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 11:00AM through October 28.  At Saugus Iron Works, ‘Preschoolers in the Park’ takes place on most Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00 AM to 11:00AM through September 13. Special guests in September and October include live owls from Eyes on Owls and Borah Brewington Snaggletooth XIII from Salem’s Black Hat Society.

‘Preschoolers in the Park’ give children and their adult caregivers the opportunity to learn together about National Parks through a fun, age appropriate, and hands-on approach. National Park Service Rangers read aloud a children’s book and facilitate active and engaging learning experiences in the national park. Books used in each program are raffled off to participants.
