Activities for the Whole Family

Family Discovery Days are held at the Arkell Museum on selected days throughout the year, and offer something for every member of the family!

Family Day Schedule

The Museum is celebrating Earth Day (April 22, 2012), and Mother's Day (May 13, 2012) with activities that are free with regular museum admission. See the Events page for details.

Past family days have featured:

• Musician and storyteller Tom Hanford, who performed Chimneyside Tales: Stories of Old New England & New York. Hanford held a pre-concert mask workshop and participants used their masks to join in with Hanford during his performance.
• The renowned Catskill Puppet Theater, which performed their acclaimed version of Hiawatha, a story of a young Iroquois boy in the Mohawk Valley region. Families created stick and sock puppets in a drop-in workshop.
