    Story Circle

    Recommended for ages 2 to 5
    Two 45-minute sessions to choose from: 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
    Fee: Free with admission *


    The Michigan Historical Museum has created a new program to engage our youngest visitors and their families in historic objects and museum settings. During each program, museum staff will read a story to children, teach a hands-on craft or other activity and then give a guided tour of a museum gallery. Each session is limited to 30 participants and begins in our Time Lab (first floor, east wing).

    * Pre-registration required for groups with six or more children. Call (517) 241‑6852 for fee information and to schedule your date and time.
