Spend Some Time With Little Red Riding Hood During Vacation Week

Visit the Seeing Red: Little Red Riding Hood Visits the New Canaan Historical Society exhibition and you will be transported back in time, following the path that Little Red took through town and into the shadowy woods to her grandmother’s cottage. Along the way you will be delighted by Peggy Rice’s sizeable collection of Little Red Riding Hood memorabilia.  As revealed in her book, The Peggy Rice Collection of Little Red Riding Hoods, II, Rice’s collection has amazing depth and variety, and includes advertisements, paintings, film, household items, toys, music and more.  Children and adults alike will have fun spotting Rice’s charming collectibles throughout the exhibition, while they enjoy an enchantingly delightful show.
