The North Berrien Historical Museum will hold a Summer Time Travelers educational program on Wednesday, June 24, 2009, from 9 am to Noon. Summer Time Travelers invites all kids ages 5 – 12 to take a trip to the past and experience life in years gone by with a hands-on, interactive and fun tour through time.
Music in the past is the theme we will explore on June 24. Using real historic artifacts, activities, demonstrations, and crafts, participants will discover local music history. Join us to:
· View Native American drumming and try immigrant dances
· Pretend you are a famous jazz musician at Paw Paw Lake
· Learn how to play music with household objects
· See historic instruments and music players through time
· Play music bingo and musical chairs with a new twist
· Create your own instrument and candy iPod to take home
Designed for kids ages 5 – 12, Summer Time Travelers is meant to inspire an interest in history and in historical museums. The program is offered at the North Berrien Historical Museum on three dates with unique themes this summer: Music on June 24, Travel on July 15, and Food on August 12. The programs are free of charge but advance registration is required.
