A Salute to Spring: Equinox

All ages are invited to join us at the Lapham-Patterson House for a special weekday edition of Make History! on Wednesday, March 20th for A Salute to Spring. March 20th is the vernal equinox, a day marking the start of spring and one in which there are an equal number of day and night hours. On this day each year, a unique phenomenon occurs on the third floor of the Lapham-Patterson House. Science, history, and creativity collide for a unique celebration of spring’s arrival. To view nature’s trick of light and shadow, please visit the Lapham-Patterson House between 3:30pm and 5:30pm. The peak viewing hour for the “Equinox Effect” is between 4pm and 5pm. In addition to viewing the light show, the event will include crafts and activities based on the science of the equinox. This event is presented at no charge and all are welcome. The Lapham-Patterson House is located at 626 N. Dawson St. This event will only take place if it is a clear sunny day.
