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 Saturday, August 30, the KidStudio will offer origami! The origins of origami can be traced as far back as ancient Japan. Origami was introduced to the boarders at the Holley boarding house by Japanese immigrant and artist Genjiro Yeto, who was a frequent and beloved guest. Yeto instructed the Holley family in many forms of Japanese art, including ikebana, sumi-e, and origami.
