## About

Housed inside a handsome 1936 native sandstone Armory building, the Edmond History Museum invites families to step into Oklahoma's vibrant pioneer past for a special pre-Thanksgiving heritage crafts workshop. Children can visit the fully restored 1889 territorial schoolhouse, sitting at antique cast-iron school desks to write on vintage slates with chalk. Museum educators guide young visitors through hands-on heritage craft stations where kids create corn husk dolls, weave miniature yarn bookmarks, and make embossed Thanksgiving gratitude cards using traditional frontier techniques. In the Children's Learning Gallery, little ones can play storekeeper in a mock 1890s mercantile, operate toy railroad sets, and dress up in vintage pioneer bonnets and overalls, making Edmond's local history exciting and tangible for young imaginations.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Ground-level entry and wide gallery corridors make stroller maneuvering simple throughout the museum exhibits and craft tables.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Restrooms feature baby changing stations; cozy sofa seating in the lobby and education room offers comfortable nursing spaces.
• Age Suitability: All ages welcome; craft workshops and pioneer play stations are tailored for children ages 4 to 12.
• Sensory Tips: Intimate, welcoming community museum with warm lighting and gentle sound levels, ideal for children who prefer relaxed settings.
