The Whitehead Museum offers a wide variety of programs, events and exhibits giving children an opportunity to experience things from our past, before the invention of video games and television, through hands on activities.

In our Scouting Program, scouts spend the night at the museum, earn various badges and wake to a pancake breakfast.

The children's exhibits are open during normal museum business hours, except during special events. 

Please call the Museum for more information
