Preservation Detectives: ‘Old-Time Street Games’

The Museum at Eldridge Street, the 1887 landmark synagogue where many Jewish immigrants worshiped, offers “Preservation Detectives” tours in which children 4 to 10 can view artifacts, investigate neighborhood lore and sleuth their way into the past. This month they’ll pursue history outside rather than in: “Old-Time Street Games” celebrates activities like stickball, stoop ball, hit the penny and potsy. Participants can try these and other old pastimes in Seward Park, followed by a traditional conclusion: a trip to the candy store.
