Kids and dads practice their history detective skills with a scavenger hunt designed with dads in mind!

 Save those movie ticket stubs! Alan Balicki, Senior Conservator, shows tools and materials to preserve the past. Families work with talented teaching artists to create an album that will showcase precious images, documents and objects. Great for grandparents!

The New-York Historical Society and the DiMenna Children’s History Museum are proud to host a young writers workshop in partnership with Writopia Lab, a nationally recognized non-profit organization that has led workshops for kids ages 8 to 18 since 2007. This unique Historical Fiction Writing workshop will be co-facilitated by a New-York Historical Society educator, who will introduce the writers to many different themes related to the Civil War.
