Keeney Kids History Program

Children entering grades 1 through 8 will learn-by-doing that history is fun! “Keeney Kids” will explore Wethersfield history through historical activities, tours, stories and games at the Wethersfield Museum in the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center and surrounding historic sites. Programs begin at 8:30 a.m. and conclude at 1:00 p.m. Children should wear “play” clothes and bring lunch. Craft activity and themed snack are provided daily.

Keeney Kids History Programs are presented three times a year:

Keeney Kids Spring History Programs

Due to the unprecedented August tropical storm and the October snowstorm we have rescheduled the two-day Keeney Kids program into a one-day program to accomodate the school calendar during a professional development day. In addition this year we will provide extended hours with an optional start at 8am and pick up at 5pm.

Morning Session:
Weird Wethersfield
