Description

The Marathon County Historical Society will host its annual Kid's History Day on Friday, August 23 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Get your sleuth hat on as we become Jr. History Detectives looking to solve a “history mystery”. We will be doing crafts and activities, as well as, outings that will bring our theme to life. Activities will include touring an historic home, museum exhibits with scavenger hunts, visiting downtown locations and more. Kid’s History Day is designed for elementary and middle school students, ages 7-13. We create our programs with something for every age splitting the group at some points to provide at least two different age-appropriate activities. We’ll provide snacks and all supplies for the day. Children must bring a cold lunch, water bottle, weather appropriate clothes and sturdy shoes. They can be dropped off at the Woodson History Center (410 McIndoe Street Wausau) starting at 9 am but no later than 9:15 am. Lunch is approximately 12pm, so please make sure they’ve eaten a solid breakfast. The event ends at 3 pm and children must be picked up at the Woodson History Center before 3:30 pm. To sign up, please fill out a registration form and return to the Marathon County Historical Society (410 McIndoe St. Wausau, WI 54403) with the $10/child registration fee. Please submit forms and fees by no later than Friday, Aug 16th to guarantee a spot, as space is limited to 25 participants.
