Storytime at Carrie’s is TOMORROW!

Bring the kids to the Carrie Chapman Catt Girlhood Home and Museum tomorrow, Thursday, September 3, at 10 a.m. for a special Storytime at Carrie’s with our friends from the Charles City Public Library!

And because we’re celebrating the start of our Family Apple Picking Weekend, the kids will also have a chance to pick apples from our orchard! It’s a fun way to enjoy a little storytime, a little history and a little time outdoors at Carrie’s.
