OKLAHOMA CITY — Join the Oklahoma History Center Museum on select Mondays in June and July from 10:30-11:30 a.m. for “OkieTales.” Families will hear a live book reading before getting to experience history hands-on! After reading the story, kids can see, touch and feel historical items related to the subject. Activities and crafts may also be included as an interactive way for young families to experience history at the museum.
“OkieTales” will be held every Monday from June 23-July 21. The story time and activities are geared toward elementary students, preschoolers and their families. The books and activities will be largely Oklahoma-themed and connected to the state’s history.
Families do not need to register ahead of time. It’s a free come-and-go program with paid admission to the museum. OHS members can get in for free.
