ALL OCTOBER!
All October we are offering a combination of make-and-take activities and spooky online fun! See below for details.
Trick or Tree-T
Take home fun activities from CMNH!
Find the "Trick or Tree-T" tree inside the museum's front entrance vestibule, and pick up a make-and-take kit when we are open Thursdays - Saturdays (please reserve a date/time online before visiting). All of the activities will be Fall themed, nature-based activities!
Kits will be available starting at 9am Thursday mornings, and are first-come, first served. If you don't find a kit, you can try out our story walk nearby, and grab instructions to gather materials for the activity at home!

Story Walk
Check out our Story Walk in upper Henry Law Park (along the railing around the pavilion). The story is "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything," and is perfect for ages 3-7...and grown-ups! Read it anytime with lots of sound effects and movement for a fun time outside in the beautiful fall weather!
