Families First Saturdays at the Old Schwamb Mill: The Midnight Writer with Sabrina Bhattacharjya
The Old Schwamb Mill invites families to a special children’s program on Saturday, March 7, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, designed for children ages 5–10.
Local author Sabrina Bhattacharjya will read from her book “The Midnight Writer,” followed by a kid-friendly discussion and Q&A about storytelling, history, and her experience as a young writer. As an active high school student involved in several local history organizations, Sabrina brings a relatable and inspiring perspective for young audiences.
After the reading, children will enjoy hands-on activities including coloring pages, colonial-era games, and music. The program also encourages children to think about their own stories and family histories, with families invited to take a “family portrait” using one of the mill’s historic round and oval frames. Light snacks and refreshments will be available.
