SUMMARY:Family Activities: Celebrating America at 250
DESCRIPTION:How are you celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States? Watching fireworks? Visiting museums? Going to a family picnic? Stop by the Connecticut Museum and decorate a picture frame to showcase photos of these special memories! The fun continues in the Inspire Center\, a hands-on\, creative space for all ages. People have been using medals\, statues\, and even souvenir plates as way to honor important moments throughout history. Using inspiration from items in the Museum’s collection\, families can design a new way to celebrate their own special event. \nWhile visiting\, families can also check out our new exhibits Drawn Here: Stories of Hartford’s North End and Rebellious\, explorations of moments of change throughout Connecticut history. \nFamilies can continue the learning at home with a Family Activity Kit\, a take-home bag full of activities\, crafts\, and images of items from the museum’s collection. In celebration of America at 250\, these kits explore journeys of immigrant families moving to Connecticut throughout history\, celebrate individual family history\, and highlight the importance of community. \nMuseum admission and participation in the above activities are FREE. For information on accessibility and accommodations\, please visit our Accessibility at the Museum page. Questions? Contact Katerina Tamburrino\, Family Programs Manager & Accessibility Coordinator\, at ktamburrino@connecticutmuseum.org or call 860-236-5621 x222.
