For the second year in a row, Time Travelers kids programs will be offered in June, July and August 2010 at the North Berrien Historical Museum. Summer Time Travelers are free, interactive educational programs with two main goals: Learning and Fun!
Designed for ages 6-12 and families, Time Travelers is meant to inspire an interest in history and in historical museums. Each day brings to life a unique and exciting theme, where we will explore first-hand how the past differed from our lives today. All Time Travelers programs feature real museum artifacts, hands-on activities and demonstrations, a craft to take home, and a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
Time Travelers programs are free, but advance registration is required. To register a child for one or more programs, please call the museum at (269) 468-3330 or e-mail nbhs2@sbcglobal.net.
