Gwinnett History Museum Classes

Please consider fitting these classes into your schedule so that Gwinnett County will see the value. There is something going on every Tuesday... the one day we are not available this year.

Although we will be cutting back on staff and museum hours, the
homeschool classes at the Gwinnett History Museum/Lawrenceville Female
Seminary will continue for now. Our new schedule, which begins in
September, will have classes for ages 6-10 the first Tuesday of the
month from 10am to noon; classes for ages 11 and up the third Tuesday of
each month, from 10am to noon; and Museum Storytime, a new program for
preschoolers ages 2 to 5, the second Tuesday of each month from 11am to
noon. The cost for the homeschool classes will remain at $3 per
student, and pre-registration is requested; classes may be canceled if
there is not sufficient pre-registration. The cost for Museum Storytime
is our normal $1 museum admission fee, and no pre-registration is
required.

This year we will also repeat our popular Haunted Night at the Museum
program over two nights, October 16-17. This program will include
storytelling, children's activities, and a chance to meet some "ghosts"
from Lawrenceville's past. On Sunday, December 6 we will hold an
etiquette lesson/tea, Tea Manners and Ms. Snowflake. And on November 14
we will partner with McDaniel Farm Park to present a Pioneer Day at the
park. More details on each of these programs will be available in the
new edition of Gwinnett LIFE, which will be available in print and
online in early August.

We hope to see you here soon!
