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 27, the KidStudio will offer decorating paper fans! Folding fans were invented in Japan as early as the 6th century and became an essential accessory for women in the Western world during the Victorian period. Stay cool and fashionable during the remaining days of summer by decorating your own paper fan to take home.
