Have an Adventure in Time at YOUR Museum!
General:
Come Celebrate the Wayne County Historical Museum’s Founder, Julia Meek Gaar! Get a passport and visit the places she went to gather artifacts for the museum! Try some exotic foods, create crafts from around the world, try on clothing from other lands! Pose with Mike the Camel from Vogt Farm, learn about Julia and our Mummy from Bill Pendly, visit Fecher’s Panache Food Truck for specially themed international fare. You may just see Julia herself! (portrayed by Tina Conti)
Julia lived during an amazing time when planes and autos were brand new, Egyptian Treasures were being discovered, and world travel was becoming an easier feat for those who could afford it. Julia traveled and collected artifacts to bring the world to the children of Wayne County. Come celebrate Julia’s legacy with a day full of family fun and learning at YOUR Museum
