CURRENT HOURS: Programs by reservation November-April
You and your children will have the opportunity to tour the museum’s many historic areas, participate in hands-on activities, complete a special activity sheet, and most of all have fun! We suggest that you plan at least 3–4 hours for your experience.
You’re welcome to bring a picnic lunch, or to leave the museum and return later in the day.
