From the Field to the Flag: Indigo in a Revolutionary Time

June 24 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT

Step back in time and discover the story of indigo—one of the most important crops of the American colonies during the Revolutionary era. In this engaging, hands-on 4-H experience, youth will explore how indigo was grown, harvested, and used to create the deep blue dye that helped shape early American history. Participants will celebrate America’s 250th birthday while learning the connection between agriculture, science, and the Revolutionary War. Best of all, each child will create and dye their very own piece of fabric using real indigo to take home. This program is open to youth ages 5–18, and you do not need to be an enrolled 4-H member to attend. Cost: $12 per participant Time 1:00 PM- 2:30 PM Join us for a fun blend of history, agriculture, creativity, and hands-on learning as we bring the past to life—From the Field to the Flag!
