The National Trust for Canada’s annual Historic Places Day is on Saturday (July 6th), and the Huron County Museum & Historic Gaol is celebrating with two events.
Business Development Manager Erin Samuell explains the Museum is hosting a steam expo. They have visiting steam experts coming from across the province and they're going to set up stations around the Museum so families will be able to try hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts and math-type activities.
The steam experts will include Ingenium: Canada Museum of Science and Innovation, Earth Science Museum: University of Waterloo, Bell Homestead National Historic Site, Nick Bastian, St. Thomas STEAM Centre, Huron County Library Maker Technology and the Avon Maitland District School Board.
At the Gaol, they'll host a Crimes and Escapes event that includes an OPP officer and police cruiser Kids will be to learn about modern policing technologies as well as trying some things inside the Gaol, like prison rations and some exercise yard activities.
The events run from 1:00 to 4:00 Saturday afternoon at the Huron County Museum and Historic Gaol.
There's also a Historic Places Day selfie contest for a chance to win a thousand dollars.
More information can be found on the Huron County Museum web site.
