Gadsby's Tavern Museum turns gingerbread decorating into an architecture lesson. Each kit is a flat gingerbread facade based on a historic building near the museum, with all the supplies needed to decorate it, and samples point out architectural details to recreate in candy and then look for on the walk home through Old Town. A ticket buys one decorating kit that a family can share, so not everyone needs their own, and it includes museum admission. Drop in any time between noon and 5 p.m.; hot cider is sold on site.
