Museum Mice Tours

The Marietta Museum of History announces new tours for the smallest of visitors. Based on programs by the Smithsonian Institute's Early Enrichment Center , tours will be offered to toddlers from age 3 to 5 and their parents. Different topics will be offered on the second Wednesday of every month at 10:30 a.m. and the cost is $5 per family.

The purpose of the one-hour tours is to introduce toddlers to history through very basic concepts like shapes, sounds, games, tools and jobs. Museum Mascots Murray and Etta are whimsical cartoon mice that will help convey the themes for the tours and provide a little fun. The tours will offer a variety of activities including story time and crafts.

The first tour entitled “Exploring Jobs With Murray” will introduce children and their parents to historical job titles like farmer, milkman, train engineer, judge and drummer boy.
