How Cars Go
Explore the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum with a family-friendly exploration of what makes cars go and how that's changed over time. From crank starts to keys, from alternative fuels to gasoline and back again, we'll explore the transformation from horseless carriages to the sleekly designed vehicles of today.
Tiffany Light and Color
Visit the Hay-McKinney Mansion to see Louis Comfort Tiffany artifacts in our collection, learn more about Tiffany's special glass-making process, and explore Cleveland's connections to the Tiffany & Co. Then, create your own design to capture color and light and make a project to take home.
The History of Toys & Games
We'll visit the Hay-McKinney Mansion’s restored nursery to learn about the lives of the McKinney children who lived there from 1916-1925, and pay a special visit to the exhibit All Dolled Up: 200 Years of Dolls and Miniatures. Participants will experience the joys of reproduction historical toys, and think about how the act of playing has changed over time.
