Revolting Pirates!  Pirates, Marauders and Privateers of the Long Island Sound

On Sunday, March 9 from 2-4:30 at the Darien Historical Society, school-aged listeners will step into authentic pirate tales, participate in pirate-themed games and crafts, all the while learning local Pirate History.

Pirate performers Jonathan Kruk and Rich Balla will tell tales of Captain Kidd, the first Pirate to bury his treasure. According to legend, Kidd left ghosts to guard the treasure in over

forty locations along the Long Island Sound. Kruk and Balla perform together as


the Hudson River Ramblers doing interactive stories and songs. Together


they have performed for the New York Historical Society, the Norwalk Oyster


Festival and countless schools, historic sites and


libraries.

Children will be invited to


learn pirate shanties and vernacular while helping “haul the lines”.  There will be specially designed children’s tours of the Bates-Scofield


Homestead highlighting life during the days of Revolutionary War Marauders. The
