Family Saturdays occur on the first Saturday of every month. These programs are designed for our youngest historians—ages 2 to 8—and their families, but all ages are welcome!
Saturday, Dec. 7: Discover how history connects us all during our Family Saturdays. This month’s story is We All Play, by Julie Flett, a book about the different ways we move our bodies when we play. We’ll read the book together and explore the History Lab to discover how kids throughout history have played. Then you’ll have the chance to create your own movement sculpture to take home.
Saturday, Jan. 4: This month’s Family Saturday story is Me On The Map, by Joan Sweeney, a book about the importance of map skills. We’ll read the book together and spend time practicing map skills in our exhibition The Mountain Was Out. Then, you’ll have the chance to create your own map of a place you’d like others to explore.
Saturday, Feb. 15: This month’s Family Saturday story is Music is in Everything by Ziggy Marley, a book about music’s many forms. We’ll read the book together and spend time exploring how different people make music to share their culture in our exhibition, ‘Washington My Home.’ Then, you’ll have the chance to create your own instrument.
Saturday, March 1: Join us for this month’s Family Saturday for “Klondike Gold Rush,” an interactive performance by Living Voices. Participants will follow the story of one independent young woman in the Klondike who risks everything for the promise of wealth and a fresh start during a time of global turmoil.
