• On Saturday, Sept. 28, explore a historic world of color — ColorQuest: Explore History...In Color — at the Chester County History Center. Learn how people of the past created and used colors in everything from fabric to art, to the everyday objects around them. Learn how we used natural materials to craft a rainbow of colors for clothing and dye your very own take-home bookmark. The West Chester University Astronomy Club will share the science of prisms and how light travels at different speeds to make different colors, and you'll learn how we get brilliant colors from metals, stones, and plants. There’s also a fun interactive scavenger hunt through our museum that will have you seeing the world in a whole new way. This family event runs from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The costs are $10 for adults and $8.00 for children 6-18. Get tickets here.
