Hands-on History

Bring history off the page at this interactive program designed for curious families. Kids and adults alike get to carefully examine authentic artifacts from World War I, making the past feel real and tangible. It's a wonderful way to help younger learners connect with history through direct experience rather than just reading about it. This hands-on activity happens several times throughout the month, giving you flexibility in planning your visit. No special skills or background knowledge required—just come ready to explore and discover. The National WWI Museum and Memorial creates an engaging environment where families can learn together at their own pace.
