Step back in time in our Special Exhibitions Gallery this summer! Kids up to age 12 with an accompanying adult will enjoy this interactive and educational studio space to make crafts and learn more about local history. Each week features a new theme, and guided activities will be held every Wednesday & Saturday. Regular features include a comfy reading corner, wall mural, coloring pages, postcard decorating, and our hands-on history cart!
On Wednesday, August 6, the KidStudio will offer making and playing with marbles! Marbles are one of the world’s oldest toys; ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all played with marbles made of stone or nuts. The first Europeans to settle in America brought marbles with them, and they have been enjoyed by American children ever since. Make your own marbles to take home out of air-dry clay, learn how to play different games with marbles, and enjoy racing marbles down our marble run!
