The 2017 KY History Half isn’t just for adults–our Children’s Activities make it possible for kids to have a great time, too! We have two fun activities set up just for kids, both led by the Kentucky Historical Society Learning Team:
ACTIVITY 1: DROP-OFF
Need a safe and fun place to leave your children while you run the race? Sign them up for the Racing Through History camp. Children will learn about the early people of Kentucky as they make a Native American-inspired pinch pot. While traveling through our exhibit, A Kentucky Journey, they will bind their own journal and read historic stories. For the last stretch, children will create inventions after learning about the great inventors of our state.
AGES: 5-12
LOCATION: Thomas D. Clark Center for KY History – Inside the museum
DROP-OFF: 7:45-8 AM – At the Front Desk
START TIME: 8 AM
END TIME: 11 AM – Pick up your child at the Front Desk
PRICE: $20 per child until July 31; after July 31, $30 per child. A snack will be provided.

ACTIVITY 2: SEEK & FIND
With A Kentucky Journey Marathon: Seek and Find!, children will follow a track that covers the period from prehistoric times to the present (so bring your water bottle!). Children will participate in an amazing race to find facts and artifacts throughout history. Registration packet pick up will be available at the front desk of the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History.
