Children & Families
Our programs for children and families focus on hands on history, giving everyone the opportunity to engage with the past to gain new understanding and inspire curiosity. We offer summer Morning Adventures for 5-12 year olds, a summer Junior Docent program for teenagers, afterschool programs during the school year, family focused tours and special events. The aim is to get children involved and interacting with history from a young age so they can continue returning to the museum as a resource for many years to come. We welcome your suggestions on future programs as well as your participation creating and implementing meaningful programs for kids of all ages. Please email your thoughts to Education@oldyork.org or call us at (207)-363-4974 ext12.
