WESTFIELD — The Miller-Cory House Museum will present a special program highlighting the earliest inhabitants of New Jersey — the Lenape Indians.

“Lenape Lore with Story Time and a Craft” will take place this Sunday, May 19, between 2 and 4 p.m. It will cover various aspects of everyday life, such as beliefs, families, home, food, clothing, medicine and games. Storytelling was an integral part of Lenape society. Not only was it a way to pass along wisdom and cultural practices to the next generation, it also fostered a sense of community.

The fully-furnished, circa 1740 farmhouse also will be open for viewing this Sunday, and museum cooks will demonstrate 18th-century openhearth cooking. Children can enjoy story time and a craft.

Admission is $5 for ages 13 and older; $4 for ages 3 to 12, and free for visitors age 2 and younger. No reservations are necessary. The Miller-Cory House Museum is located at 614 Mountain Avenue, Westfield. For more information, call the museum at (908) 232-1776 or email millercorymuseum@gmail.com.
