Explore the diverse history of York and beyond
This Second Saturday series is taking on a new look as we offer Second Saturday: History Explorers throughout the year. The lecture portion of this series that many enjoy will be offered the months we do not have family programming. This program series is possible due to support from NiSource and Columbia Gas.
July 11 | 11:30 AM
History Explorers is a hands-on approach for youth to engage with history tied to a specific theme. July’s theme in connection to America’s 250th anniversary this year is Centennial Celebrations. There is a $5 fee per each student who attends.
