In a time before television and radio, people often amused themselves by playing a variety of parlor games that provided opportunities to have fun while socializing and sharpening their wits.

In keeping with this tradition, the Woodstock History Center is starting a new drop-in program that is centered around learning about and playing historic games such as backgammon, checkers, Parcheesi, Cats and Mice, and a variety of old card games.

Games will be taught for those who have not played them before. All experience levels welcome!

Note: This is a drop-in program.
