Summer Time Travelers are free interactive programs for kids



The North Berrien Historical Museum again looks forward to Summer Time Travelers, a series of free interactive programs especially designed for ages 6-12. With our two main goals of learning and fun, every session features hands-on activities and crafts focused on a fascinating theme, as well as real historic artifacts and exhibits. Summer Time Travelers aims to inspire a lifelong interest in history and historical museums. These programs are free but to ensure space, advance registration is required. To register or for more information, call the museum at (269) 468-3330 or download a registration form and return.

Highlights of Time Travelers this summer include a visit by award-winning Michigan historian and Storyteller Larry Massie on June 29. Time Travelers will be held from 10am – Noon (registration required), followed at 1pm with a free Storytelling show open to all ages called “Adventures in Michigan’s Past” (no registration). Other programs will make use of the museum’s traveling trunks and exhibits throughout our grounds, including the Women in Baseball exhibit this summer. The dates and themes for Summer Time Travelers 2011 include: Lumberjacks (June 29), Old Time Sports (July 13), Pioneers (July 27), Paw Paw Lake Fun (August 10) and Native Americans (August 24).

Volunteers make it possible for us to offer these free programs to the community. If you would like to help with Summer Time Travelers in 2011, please call the museum to sign up.
