July 1, 2011 – Coloma, MI – The North Berrien Historical Museum will hold a free program for kids ages 6-12 on Wednesday, July 13, called “Summer Time Travelers: Old Time Sports.” Time Travelers are a series of free, interactive programs that each bring to life a fascinating theme so we can discover how the past differed from the world today. All programs feature a fun and welcoming atmosphere, crafts, hands-on activities, demonstrations, and real museum artifacts. There is no cost, but registration is required to ensure space. Register by calling the museum at (269) 468-3330 or visit our website (www.northberrienhistory.org).
“Old Time Sports” will introduce participants to the museum’s new exhibit Women in Baseball: Bloomer Girls of Berrien County & Beyond and they’ll meet a re-enactor uniformed as a Western Bloomer Girl, the barnstorming baseball team based in Watervliet a century ago. Our Time Travelers will also try their hand at croquet and other historic games, and make a local sports history pennant to take home.
For more information, contact the North Berrien Historical Museum. Remaining Time Travelers programs in 2011 include Pioneers (July 27), Paw Paw Lake Fun (August 10) and Native Americans (August 24). The museum’s summer hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-4pm.
