Hands On History – Step Into the Past!


Get ready to roll up your sleeves and experience history like never before at Hands On History, happening every Thursday from June 5 to August 7, 12 PM – 3 PM!

Each week, dive into interactive pioneer-era activities like making soap, pouring candles, crafting yarn dolls, and more. These hands-on experiences bring the pioneer spirit to life while also connecting with the Peck Homestead’s heritage and the natural world around us.

  • Make it

  • Try it

  • Live it

  • Love it!

Whether you're a history buff, a hands-on learner, or just love trying something new, Hands On History is your chance to get creative and connect with the past in fun and meaningful ways.

It’s history you don’t just learn – you live!
