Story Circle

Recommended for ages 2 to 5
Two 45-minute sessions to choose from: 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Fee: $5 per participant

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 begins in our Time Lab (first floor, east wing).

Each session is limited to 30 participants. Groups with six or more children must call (517) 241‑6852 for chaperon requirements and to make reservations for an alternate date and time.
