Hands on Local History Summer Camp

The Museum offers a week-long summer camp for children entering the 2nd grade through the 8th grade. The camp offers a range of activities from early brickmaking to hands-on archeology. Campers play games from the past to include checkers, marbles, and Jacob’s Ladder. They watch American Revolution and Civil War                re-enactors demonstrate life on the battlefields and the use of their weapons. They learn about AM Radio and how President Franklin Roosevelt used radio to speak to the nation about his administration’s historic programs enacted during the Great Depression. Native Americans teach campers about the environment and how it was used by their people before the European invasion. Children walk away from this summer camp with knowledge and experience that last a lifetime.
