About this event
Join us in celebrating Samuel Johnson’s 317th birthday and the 125th anniversary of the Birthplace Museum. Mark the occasion with a slice of cake and enjoy a day filled with free activities for all ages. Step back in time with engaging living-history demonstrations, where you can meet costumed characters from the past, including a Georgian cook showcasing what people ate in the 1700s. Watch a skilled calligrapher at work, then try your own hand with quill and ink in our Workroom, or explore the museum with our fun family trail.
