Rose Hill Manor provides a variety of family friendly events, as well as programs for various age groups.

Toys of the Past


In the past many toys were handmade from materials such as cloth and wood. Parents often created toys for their children from recycled materials such as old clothing or scraps of lumber. Handmade toys ranged from dolls to rocking horses. Try making a handkerchief doll with your child (View instructions online).
