Ben Franklin, not Daniel Boone, first popularized the coonskin cap during his exploits in France while there rallying support for the American colonists’ revolt.
For Families & Kids
Sure, children are the future – but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a blast learning about the past!
The Frazier Museum offers a variety of exhibits, gallery experiences, events and programs designed to help families have fun and experience history together.
We even have a club just for kids! It’s called Kids Club (imagine that!) and it’s for children ages 5 to 14 who love learning about true stories from other times and other cultures.
Kids Club membership is FREE and allows special perks including:
- Free admission to the museum during SECOND SATURDAYs, a monthly program that features fun, family-friendly activities, including hands-on crafts and games revolving around a selected theme.
- Regular updates regarding Frazier History Museum happenings that are especially for kids and families!

Nice topic brother!
Will the Kids Club be open during museum hours on Saturday, Sept. 24th
Hi Shawn,
The special events for Kids Club members takes place the Second Saturday of each month. Unfortunately, there isn’t a Kids Club event planned for September 24. Our next Second Saturday is October 8. You can find more information here.
I have a three year old who is pretty advanced (I know every parent says that). Does the museum offer any activities for her age group?
Hi there! Most of our museum programs and activities are best suited for children ages 4 or 5 and up. Though our exhibits and programs become more kid-friendly all the time, our focus is for kindergarten and higher. So, it would be unusual for a toddler to be adequately engaged by most of our exhibits and programs.
This looks great. I will have to bring my daughter (in 2nd grade) to the next kids clubs event.
My daughter and son would love this but it is not in my area. Gonna look to see if there is something in my area and refine my search
this is an absolutely great idea in a world where playstation and wii for kids (and adults) means more than culture and intelligence ! All museums should offer that kind of activities !! thanks
I am only a director for a brand-new elementary school situated in paris …thank you for this helpful material.
Hey Erica,
Can you email me at aschaffner@fraziermuseum.org? Send me a link to your blog. Thanks!
