St. Mary’s County Museum Division to Host 4-Day Outdoor Summer Break “Junior Historian” Program for Children at Piney Point Lighthouse
LEONARDTOWN, MD – Designed for children aged 7 to 10, the Junior Historian Program at Piney Point Lighthouse Museum, will offer an exciting blend of outdoor exploration and hands-on history lessons for 3 hours per day from July 28 – 31. Our young adventurers will discover the past in a whole new way as they explore local history and nature. This program is a fantastic combination of learning, history, and outdoor activities.
Activities will include, but are not limited to, a hands-on archaeological dig, creating a river model, fishing, and crafting a bird or bat box. Upon completion of the program, each participant will receive a "Junior Historian" badge to commemorate their achievements.
“Because Piney Point has so many interesting things for kids to explore, we thought it would be great to continue to offer this fun, yet educational, multiday Junior Historian program for children during summer break,” says Karen Stone, Manager of the St. Mary’s County Museum Division. “With such a broad range of topics, they’re sure to find lots of fun things to do while enjoying the outdoors at the lighthouse.”
Parents are encouraged to book their child’s spot soon, as each program is limited to 10 participants to give each child the best hands-on experience possible. Please visit: JuniorHistorianSummer2025.eventbrite.com to book; the cost is $75 per child for the entire 4-day program.
