Gather ’round on Thursday, July 6, 2023 at 10am for Storytime! Storytime at LancasterHistory takes place among historic buildings, giving children an immersive history experience. A passionate museum educator or volunteer will read aloud from a book centered on a historical theme, and then lead a craft or activity inspired by the theme. On July 6, join us for a special Storytime as we welcome author Corey Fogelman and his daughter–and illustrator!–Piper Fogelman to present and read their book, Market Day: A Lancaster County Poem. We’ll then complete a craft or activity based on the day’s theme (craft/activity to be determined).

Book Description: “This is a children’s book inviting all to visit and explore Lancaster, Pennsylvania With bright colorful images, children and adults will love reliving memories and discovering all that Lancaster has to offer.” [Goodreads]

This program broadens kids’ historical knowledge and establishes museum literacy and critical thinking skills. The program is free, and registration is required to ensure we have craft supplies for everyone. Storytime is designed for young readers, ages 12 and under.
