Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and spend time with loved ones. Instead of battling crowds and lines in busy stores, spend some quality educational time together at our Family Weekend at the Museum.

Come garden with us! Over the past two years, we've worked to revamp and renew the backyard at the Cox House. We're in the final steps, and you're invited to help us across the finish line. On Saturday, June 4, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, we're installing our new prairie garden with plants generously donated by John & Katha Chamberlain. Genevieve Brand from Seed to Site will guide volunteers through planting, as well as labeling, watering, and mulching. Tools will be provided, but please bring your gloves.
