Hands-on History (Aug. 2026)

Bring history off the page at this interactive program designed for families with curious minds of all ages. During Hands-on History, you and your children get to handle authentic artifacts from World War I—a rare opportunity to connect with the past through touch and exploration. It's a hands-on way to make the Great War feel real and immediate, perfect for young learners who benefit from engaging directly with what they're studying. This live demonstration runs on select Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays throughout August, giving you flexibility to fit it into your schedule. No special knowledge is needed—just bring an open mind and questions. It's an excellent complement to the museum's other offerings, whether you're visiting for the day or focusing on this single program. Check the museum's website or call ahead for specific times and any ticket information.
