Hands-on History

Hands-on History brings World War I to life for families at the National WWI Museum and Memorial. During this interactive program, visitors of all ages get the rare opportunity to touch and examine authentic artifacts from the Great War. It's a hands-on way to connect with history that goes beyond simply reading about the past or looking through glass cases. This is a wonderful option for curious kids and families who learn best through direct experience. The program runs during regular museum hours on select days throughout the month, with multiple time slots available to fit your schedule. It's a meaningful addition to a museum visit that encourages children to engage thoughtfully with this important period in history.
