A Walk Through History

Bring your family for an immersive journey through centuries of American history at this interactive outdoor event. You'll walk through wooded grounds exploring different eras, from Native American settlements through the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars, and conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. Along the way, kids can try on period clothing, listen to hammered dulcimer music, learn to tie knots, play with vintage toys, and discover old schoolbooks and fossils. The scavenger hunt format keeps children engaged as they answer history questions while exploring the grounds. With six hours to spend, there's plenty of time to move at a relaxed pace and linger at exhibits that capture your family's interest. Parking is free, and doors open early if you'd like to arrive ahead of the official start time. This is a great option for families looking to make learning about history fun and hands-on.
