Tweet ThisEMC Events - Brockville Museum has several events planned in March and April. They are as follows:
- "Frogs, Snakes, and Turtles - Oh My!" - Before we know it, March Break will be upon us. This year, we're going to jump, crawl, and slither into the world of reptiles and amphibians.
There will be games, activities, crafts and baking and maybe even a special guest or two! Ages 6-11, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. One fee for all three days of $20 for members' children and $25 for non-members' children. Please register in advance.
- Easter Egg Workshop - Thursday, March 25, 2 to 4:30 p.m. Learn how to decorate up to three eggs in Ukrainian and other traditional and non-traditional styles.
This is limited to 15 people so please register in advance, fee is $10 per person.
- Easter Monday - Monday, April 5, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., various Easter themed family activities, crafts, and games. On this day, admission is half price!
- "Arresting Images" exhibit - Escaped fugitives, confidence men, pickpockets, murderers and horse thieves will all show their faces at the Brockville Museum for the Arresting Images Gallery exhibition, Monday, April 12 until Sunday, May 23.
Arresting Images is organized and circulated by the OPP Museum in Orillia, as one of its 100th anniversary projects.
The museum will host the nationally travelling exhibit of this never-before-seen collection of mug shots dating from 1886 to 1908, including the earliest mug shot known in Ontario.
Who knows, maybe you will come face-to-face with that distant relative no one in the family is willing to talk about!
Teachers may wish to note that a special education program will accompany this exhibit. Please contact Amy Whitehorne at the museum for further information.
The Brockville Museum, "Where History Lives," serves as the repository of our collective past, and is the cornerstone of Brockville's heritage community.
The museum, which attracts thousands of visitors every year, not only has an interesting and varied collection of artifacts, but it also hosts special events, children's programs, adult lectures, and is the home of the Leeds and Grenville Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society.
You are welcome to visit us Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at 5 Henry St. in Brockville.
Don't forget that on every Friday admission is waived for Brockville residents.
