For Kids
The Past of Your Home Town: School groups (Grade 3) - Using the Museum's exhibits, students can learn about how Monrovia was founded, what life was like in Monrovia in the early 1900s, and how Monrovians participated in national events such as World War II. Guided tours are available to walk students into the past through the Museum’s exhibits which include historical scenes, photos, and objects of everyday life.
Natural History Explorer: Elementary-school-age clubs and troops - In a guided tour, children can examine natural history through the Museum’s extensive collection of fossils, rocks, minerals and seashells. Ever wonder what rocks are made of? Or what kind of creatures lived long ago? This tour includes hands-on learning about fossils, minerals, and rocks.
Please Note: The Museum requires that all children’s groups bring enough chaperones to supervise the children.
