Get ready to travel back in time! In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Burritt on the Mountain is turning history into hands-on fun for the whole family. Step into the Past Wander through real 19th-century houses that families lived in long ago! Each one has amazing stories waiting for you to discover.
Webs, Wings, and Scaly Things June 22-26, 2026 We invite young, brave scientists to step into the hidden world of creatures that crawl, slither, flutter, and spin. Campers become junior naturalists for a week packed with scales, wings, webs, and hands-on discovery. Campers dig into the science behind how reptiles and insects survive—investigating exoskeletons, camouflage, silk‑spinning, and more. A live animal menagerie brings the learning to life, giving every child a front‑row seat to real reptiles and other fascinating creepy crawlies in action.

We invite all who feel inspired to experience the joy of creating art outdoors in the beauty of Burritt’s Historic Park. From 10:00 to 3:00, plein-air easels stocked with paper , charcoals, pencils and pastels will be set up throughout the grounds, ready for anyone who wishes to draw from nature in a peaceful, welcoming environment. Plein-air (“open air”) painting and drawing have a rich history stretching back centuries. Artists around the world have long stepped outside their studios to capture light, color, and landscape directly from life.
