History Day + A Night at the Museum 💛

The afternoon is full of fun hands on history activities from 1–5 PM with learn butter churning, play fun historical games, enjoy crafts, and egg and spoon races. (Don’t worry! If weather shifts, everything moves inside and continues without missing a beat)

Then the doors open from 6-8 for A Night at the Museum as the building itself becomes the story with each room having its own story to tell, shared by local volunteers bringing the past to life through the people and places connected to it.

One day. Two experiences. All history 💛 We can’t wait to see you there!!
