Dancing on the 4th July

Regular Events & Workshops

 

The museum has an exciting and full program of events and activities throughout the year; including lectures, music events, workshops, kids’ activities and Christmas festivities.  Most events are included in the admission price to the grounds and there is something to suit everyone. Additional events and activities may be added during the season – so watch the website for the latest details and information which can be found in our Full Listings.

Our regular events include:

 

Sunday Music Series 

On one Sunday afternoon a month the museum comes alive with the sound of traditional American music, including big band jazz, gospel, and bluegrass.  These are always great family events, and the Terrace fills up quickly – so arrive early and perhaps enjoy some lunch before the main event.  Alternatively bring a rug or chairs and spread out on the grass.

Living History Events

Throughout the year the museum holds a series of period and military re-enactments.

 

Kids’ Stuff

We offer a series of drop-in craft activities, explore a nature trail or listen to a story suitable for children aged 5 and up. Activities last about ½ an hour and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  No reservation is required, and we do usually accommodate everyone, but space is limited and on a first come, first served, basis.
