Christmastime in Seneca Village @ Rialto Theater

This year we are travelling back in time to 19th century New York City. Seneca Village was a charming rural community founded by African Americans in 1825, and thrived for 30 years before the Parks Commission came in with plans for Central Park. ?Stage Director Michelle Matlock has crafted a story of joy and resilience inspired by this historic Village, and Music Director Megan Oberfield is leading our talented Chorus. The show includes a delightful blend of African American, Irish, and German traditions. Don’t miss this incredible production. It’s Christmastime in Seneca Village!

Family Saturdays – Music is in Everything @ Washington State History Museum
Jan 4 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Join us this winter for Family Saturdays! Explore how history connects us all during this hour-long storytime program designed for children ages 4 to 10 and their families.

This month’s Family Saturday story is Me On The Map, by Joan Sweeney, a book about the importance of map skills. We’ll read the book together and spend time practicing map skills in our exhibition The Mountain Was Out. Then, you’ll have the chance to create your own map of a place you’d like others to explore.
