Upcoming Events
Summer Saturdays:
Planting Pumpkin seeds
Saturday, June 14 & 28, 2025 |10 am -12 pm
Each month this summer, join us for a Make and Take activity—fun for the whole family!
In June you will learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin and get to plant your very own seed to take home and care for. With a little love and sunshine, it’ll be ready to harvest just in time for fall!
Make and Take activities will be the same on both Saturdays in June.
*Activities are free and available while supplies last.*
Lecture: Victorian Mourning
Saturday, June 28, 2025 | 2 - 3 pm
From their clothing, to their traditions and superstitions, it’s safe to say that Victorians were obsessed with death. This has left many in the current day with a fascination for them and has created a mythos that can sometimes be labeled as patently false. Join us for an hour-long talk on the ways that Victorians looked at and observed death while dispelling some long-established myths along the way.
