Heroes Through History: Honoring Local Veterans
Join us at the museum for Heroes Through History, a special event where children can learn about local veterans and their courageous contributions. Through engaging activities, kids will discover the stories of real-life heroes from their own community. From interactive storytelling to hands-on crafts, young visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by veterans and how their legacies live on. “Heroes Through History” is a wonderful way for children to connect with history, honor local veterans, and learn about the importance of service and bravery.
Creative Activities:
-Make a card for a Veteran you know (or leave it at the museum for us to pass on to a Veteran)
-Create a Medal of Honor: Design your own honorary medal to celebrate bravery and kindness
-Memory Wall: Leave a message of gratitude or a drawing to honor veterans from our community

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.
