    Saturday, May 20 @ 1:00 pm 3:00 pm

    Physicists start your engines! We’re offering an expanded version of one of our most popular STEM programs. Come make a mini racecar out of wood and other upcycled materials and then see how it rolls and modify it to make it faster. Kids get a hands-on dive into physics as they explore how weight, aerodynamics, and design affect their results.

    Wednesday, May 31 @ 2:30 pm 3:30 pm

    Does laundry cause friction in your family? Wait until the kids find out about old-fashioned washing days! Doing chores is great for hand-eye coordination, integrating the senses, social emotional development, and appreciation for modern technology. Get scrubbin’ and experience tasks kids would have done in the mid-1800s. Learn how laundry used to get done with a tub, washboard, and drying line in this historical play program.

    Cabin Life invites you to try your hand at crafts and activities from around the time our original log cabin was built in the 1840s.

    This event is free with general museum admission.

    Start your summer with a night of music, dancing, food, and drinks for all ages in the Wonderground. MCM’s first musical guest of the season is Atimevu, a local band offering traditional Ghanian tunes. Don’t miss the mini-set by opera tenor David Blalock and pianist Scott Gendel, performed in our Giant Bucket. 

    Admission is pay what you can, no registration needed. Enjoy our cash bar with grownup beverages and non-alcoholic options. Munch on light snacks available for purchase from our Lunchbox cafe. This concert is for ‘bigs’ and ‘littles’ alike—kids are welcome, but not required.
