Wampum Bracelets

  • Mercer County Library, Hopewell Branch 245 W Delaware Ave Pennington, NJ (map)

Celebrate Hopewell Valley Heritage making wampum bracelets at the Hopewell Branch. The Lenni Lenape used wampum beads (which are typically made from quahog shells) in ceremonies, as diplomatic gifts, and for trading with the Europeans. We'll be using pony beads to make our own wampum bracelets! Suggested for children, ages 7 and older. Space is limited; registration is required. Register here: Wampum Bracelets.
