Kids Can Build a Family Tree at a Free Craft Morning in Brownsville Saturday |
The Historic Brownsville Museum hosts a free, all-ages family tree craft on Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to noon. |
This Saturday's craft gets the grandparents talking.
The Historic Brownsville Museum's Second Saturday craft program on Oct. 10 is all about family history. Kids and grown-ups make a family tree together, from 10 a.m. to noon.
It's free, and all ages are welcome. The museum doesn't list any registration.
One tip before you go: ask an abuela or a tío this week for a few names and the towns they came from. A family tree goes faster with someone who remembers helping fill it in, and the kids hear stories they might not hear otherwise.
The details: When: Saturday, Oct. 10, 10 a.m. to noon Where: Historic Brownsville Museum, 641 E. Madison St., Brownsville Cost: Free Who: All ages
Flyer: Brownsville Historical Association |
