Family Saturdays
Every Saturday, 10:00 AM-5:00 PM
Different themes every month!

Families can participate in themed, self-guided activities at the History Museum every Saturday of the month! Each month will feature a different focus that lets you do the work of history, collaboratively! We’ll provide a handout with prompts and ideas; you bring your family, curiosity, and time to explore!

July theme: What does what we wear say about who we are?

Think about how you express yourself with what you wear. What we can learn about historical figures based on the clothes and accessories they made and wore?
