Presidents' Day Celebration

Maltz Museum volunteers have brushed up on their Presidents’ Day facts for the museum’s free, family friendly celebration that takes place today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at the museum. There will be hands-on activities and visitors can meet people portraying past Presidents (and, in some cases, their wives) during special tours between 1 and 2 p.m. Performances will take place in 10-minute intervals. In addition, patrons can get photos with these “Presidents” and eat kosher cookie treats from 2 to 2:30 p.m. Additional activities throughout the day include: Experience An American Story, the museum’s core gallery exploring immigration and the historic struggle to hold on to tradition while embracing new opportunities; and participate in a president-inspired hands-on activity; paying homage to an iconic American leader by creating a Washington or Lincoln construction paper mask.
