Siege the Day: Trebuchet Building Contest

Saturday, May 1st, 2010. 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Trebuchets are a type of medieval siege machine used to destroy castle walls. Using the principles of gravity and levers, they were capable of hurling large stones a great distance.

Put together your own team, build a four foot Trebuchet, and come to the Museum to prove your handiwork. Prizes awarded for accuracy, historical construction and overall "coolness."
