The History Mystery program will return in the fall of 2021. But don't worry, there are many other Goldie's Kids Club offerings to keep young historians busy throughout the summer!
History Mystery: Live From the Museum Vault

Join museum staff this fall on Zoom for a virtual version of the popular "History Mystery" program. The digital format allows young historians from across the state to examine artifacts and historic images to determine how they were used and who might have used them. Sign up to become a history super sleuth!
This History Mystery program is free to attend, but space is limited and advanced registration is required. Please register by 4 p.m. on the Friday before the program. While attending this virtual program, each child (recommended for ages 8-12) must be accompanied by an adult for its duration. Not a Goldie's Kids Club member? Join today!
