The Historical Society of Moreau and South Glens Falls has obtained $500 from the Stewart’s Holiday Match Program for its 2013 educational programming at the Parks-Bentley Place in South Glens Falls. 

Stewart’s Shops have matched donations from throughout the holiday period annually for more than 25 years and give grants to Capital District non-profits for children’s educational programming.

The Historical Society will use the money for its annual Summer History Camp designed for elementary-age children in August.  The money will also be used to create new programs at the Parks-Bentley Place, particularly for the newly restored 19th century summer kitchen.

This summer’s History Camp theme is “Food For Thought” and incorporates food gathering, preparation, and preservation in the 1800s through a hands-on and fun learning experiences for local children.
