The Old Courthouse Heritage Museum presents free events for children on the first and third Saturdays of each month.
On Saturday, January 7, 2023, the museum will host “Watercolor Winter Wonderland,” where kids can follow along with a guided painting activity. Recommended for kids ages 7 and up, the program will take place from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.
Then, on Saturday, January 21, 2023, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm, the museum will host another Kids’ Crafternoon all about map making. Children will be able to view local aerial maps from different periods and learn how to navigate and draw maps they can take home.
Since spaces are limited, parents and guardians should pre-register for one or both these events by calling the museum at (352) 341-6428. Children must be supervised by their accompanying adults during the entirety of each of these programs. Families who visit may want to plan for extra time to see the permanent exhibits on local prehistory and pioneer history.
