Family Activity Kits – New Theme!

Family Activity Kits are take-home resources for families to enjoy, bringing history and fun together in the comfort of your own home! Please Note: This is not an on-site program. Each kit includes crafts, hands-on activities, and images of collection items all around a specific theme. May-June's theme is "Tune into History," an exploration of music throughout history!

Family Program: Glamorous Gardens

Do you have a green thumb? No? That’s okay! Join us at the museum to make everything you need to make your garden truly one-of-a-kind – no gardening skills required! Families will paint rocks, decorate flower pots, and design their very own wind chimes to take home.
