It was good. The children learned many things. Learned how the pioneers started their days with gathering/hunting and making their meals over an open fire. Then started their daily chores before enjoying the later day/ evening.They helped make vegetable soup and cornbread. Tin punch pictures...wrote and Drew with quills and handmade little wax candles.After all these activities...we later went into the museum where we saw our ancestors history of the Civil War....how music was during its time and on a third level... The models of the large ships that sunk in the great lakes and their histories.
Port Huron Museum Carnegie Center presents once a month Movies on the Mezzanine! If youre looking for a different kind of venue for your movie viewing experiences try this venue. The movies shown are classics. His Girl Friday was the featured film Thursday November 21. I thoroughly enjoyed myself with the delicious popcorn and lemonade that was served on a side table all at no charge for the snacks! So if youre looking for something to do, in December, the next classical movie is Its A Wonderful Life starring James Stewart and Donna Reed. Bring the family would love to see you there in support of the museum. Per Fire Code and or Museums permission bring a blanket and pillow for the young/young at heart for entertaining viewing and lay on the floor.
Great place to take the kids. There is a wealth of information here, so much history to learn. There is a little movie to watch along the way. We absolutely loved it. Admission prices are listed on their website.They have a tiny gift shop but all proceeds go towards adding and restoring the building. The customer service was amazing. They are so informative and helpful and extremely kind and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We visited the museum for an elementary school field trip. It was a Pioneer Day theme and there were so many activities planned for the kids! Not only did they make soup and corn bread that was cooked on a fire but they also got to make candles, tin punch, write with ink and a feather quill, walk on stilts and tour the museum! The guides were also not only knowledgeable but they were great with the kids!!!
A must see!!!! So many original artifacts and stories you wont find in the regular history books! Great people to volunteer with. Lots of events for kids and the whole family. Check them out on Facebook!
We brought a group from the nearby longterm care facility. We were greeted and received the best customer service. Very wheelchair friendly.
Nice place lots of artifacts and history here kids loved it.
Old Carnegie funded library, very authentic very cool, very community oriented, relatively modern history but culturally aware and improving
Ships lost in the great lakes during the great storm of 1913
Great place to take our grandchildren. Staff very informative.
The Carnegie Museum was a blast during my sons school field trip. The kids (and us grown ups too) got to learn about different aspects of life during pioneer times. The kids made homemade cornbread, shook up cream to make butter, and learned how to make soup out of vegetables that they cut up themselves. After learning how the pioneers cooked their meals over an open fire, they also got to make their own dipped candles, make punched tin art, learn how to draw with a quill and ink, and play with replica toys from the time period. We were also given a tour of a pioneer home and the main museum itself, designed our own quilt blocks, and saw historical artifacts from our area. The museum building is beautiful, and I can see why it is available for use for special occassions.Once the food was done cooking, we enjoyed eating our soup and cornbread. The kids really enjoyed their trip, and they left the museum with many souvenirs from their various activities. I plan to make a trip in the future to explore the museum further and check out the gift shop. And I look forward to going to some of their special events and exhibits as well.
