Kids' Stuff activities include things to make, poems and stories, real historic documents, links to other great places with stuff for kids about Michigan history and more.

The activities in the list on the Kids' Stuff from the Michigan Historical Center page go with a gallery in the Michigan Historical Museum or a special exhibit. Some activities-listed on another web page-go with some of the field sites of the Michigan Historical Museum System, like Walker Tavern or Fayette Historic Townsite.
