Join us at the Osgoode Township Museum this May 24th to learn about historical laundry and hygiene - Watch a historic laundry demonstration and make and take home your very own 18th century style soap washball. If you feel like it, bring your own dish towel and see how it would have been washed 100 years ago (results not guaranteed).

Drop-ins welcome, though pre-registration is encouraged to guarantee materials. 5$ per participant.
