Who knew candy was popular in the 1700s? Or that it doubled as medicine? You’ll get an upfront taste of the secret history of authentic 18th century sweets and treats in this easy-to-open/easy-to-close capsule. You’ll find:

-          ----Eighteenth-century sweets and treats from maple candy to candied flower petals, authentic sugar plums, and stained-glass candy and much more. Always an adventure!

-          ----A letter from your guide, Terri the Time Traveler, describing the stories of each selection, fascinating to kids and grown-ups. 

-         -----A copy of an actual check written and signed by George Washington, made out to the “bearer” of this check – which, as the Time Traveler explains – “is you!”
