Encourage your inner archaeologist! A museum educator will bring unusual and everyday objects from the 19th century to us. Participants have the opportunity to examine the objects and discover on their own how people devised technological solutions to meet their specific needs. This program provides ample opportunities to compare the tools and constructs of the past with those of today

Bring your babies and toddlers for a short story, rhymes, movement, songs and more. This is a great way to introduce them to the library!

Genealogist and educator Katherine R. Willson brings a deep knowledge of history to this spoken presentation in honor of America's semiquincentennial. America's story is one of families seeking opportunity while facing exclusion and hardship. This interactive presentation follows that story across many communities, including Native Americans, early colonial settlers, African Americans, and European immigrants of the 19th and 20th centuries. It explores how people moved through a rapidly changing country, sometimes by choice and sometimes under pressure, and how immigrants and other marginalized groups navigated questions of rights, identity, and belonging. Guided reflection encourages attendees to consider how opportunity, resilience, and exclusion shaped these communities, with practical ideas for preserving those stories for future generations.
