Free Family Event - Step Back in Time: Hats & Shoes Through History

Step Back in Time: Hats & Shoes Through History

Join us for a delightful exploration of the fascinating history of hats and shoes! This interactive event is designed for children to learn about the evolution of these essential fashion items throughout different eras and cultures. Through engaging activities, storytelling, and hands-on experiences, children will discover how hats and shoes have shaped personal identity, cultural expression, and social status.

Creative Activities For Kids:

- Decorate shoe cutouts using various art supplies
-Mold a custom-made hat on an antique hat mold and then have fun decorating it


Formerly known as our Free Family Event series, Boone Youth Explorers is our newly renamed monthly program designed to spark curiosity and connect kids with local history through hands-on experiences.

Thanks to generous support from Missouri Humanities, we’ve been able to expand this program and offer even more engaging activities that bring the past to life for young minds.
