Celebrate America’s 250th with the St. Lawrence County Center for History & Culture!

1. Participate in our Space Exploration Crafting Station, highlighting the work of Dr. Sally K. Ride, the first American woman in space:

Details: Imagine what it would be like to go on a space exploration like Dr. Sally Ride! At this crafting station, participants can fill out a "What If" badge that details their imagined space trip, create a "Become an Astronaut" photo (draw yourself as an astronaut or glue on a photo at home), build a rocket ship (pre-colored or color your own), and color space-themed coloring sheets. This program is designed for all ages, with adult assistance needed for younger participants. We recommend planning approximately 20 minutes for the activity. Take-home packets of all the materials are available for those who cannot stay for the program.

2. Participate in the “25 Objects for America’s 250th" Scavenger Hunt:

Objects are located throughout the museum across two floors. Stairs and elevator access to the second floor are available. This program is designed for ages 6+ with adult assistance for younger participants. We recommend planning approximately 30 minutes for the activity.
