Stories at the Museum
The Virginia Historical Society is offering special educator-led readings of history books for children. Every program will include a group reading of the selected book and a craft activity related to the text.
Each month the books will have a different theme. Programs take place the first and third Saturday of each month from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Stories at the Museum programs are FREE, open to the public, and require no advance registration. All ages are welcome.
