Children on history trail

From the archive, first published Thursday 1st Nov 2001.

ACTIVITIES from throughout the ages were on offer to youngsters at County Museum, Hartlebury Castle, over the half term break.

A Roman day, animal day and scientific event were all organised to keep children busy.

The museum also put on a Second World War evacuation exhibition.

This was designed to give youngsters an insight into life during the war and featured a gas mask and ready-packed evacuation suitcase, complete with labels and identity cards.

A spokeswoman said the activities were "brilliant" and attracted a lot of families, with children taking part in a range of activities.

Attractions on offer included making mosaics, animal masks and harvest mice and trying on Roman armour.
