Navigating the Stars

Navigating the Stars In-Person

Have you ever wondered how ancient people told time? Got from Point A to Point B without a smartphone or a compass? Made it over the underground railroad, or to far away countries over the seven seas? Learn about Nathaniel Bowditch, the father of modern navigation and how he taught illiterate men to calculate from and follow the stars. Learn which constellations matter most in the northern and southern hemispheres. Best of all, take home a star map and learn how to participate in orienteering and other activities in your own neighborhood. Presented by Winterberry Homestead.
