Overland Trail Museum Hosts Children's Program, Historical Society Meeting This April

The Overland Trail Museum's Frank Walsh High Plains Educational Center will give Logan County elementary students a hands-on look at its Americans exhibit on April 11, with enrollment capped and a $1.50 per-child fee keeping the program within reach for most families.

The 90-minute session runs from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and is open to students in grades one through five. Along with a guided tour of the Americans exhibit, children will take a snack break and work through activities centered on cultural change, including making decorative tipis.

Because space is limited, City of Sterling museum staff are asking families to register in advance by calling the museum at 970-522-3895. Callers should provide the child's name, age, a contact phone number, and email address.

Two days later, on Monday, April 13, the Logan County Historical Society will hold its regular public meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the same Frank Walsh High Plains Educational Center. The meeting is open to members, visitors, and guests alike.

The society's gatherings serve as a recurring civic forum covering museum operations, archival work, local history preservation, and community programming, functions that shape the cultural calendar for Sterling and surrounding Logan County communities including Fleming, Iliff, and Crook.

The April 13 meeting requires no advance registration. For the April 11 children's program, space is limited and registration is required; families should call 970-522-3895 to secure a spot before Saturday.
