Okietales
June 23 and 30
July 7, 14, and 21
Join the Oklahoma History Center Museum for Okietales on select Mondays in June and July. Families paying a visit to the History Center are invited to hear a live book reading with the added opportunity to experience history hands-on! After each story is read aloud, children and families will be able to see, touch, and feel historical items relating to the subject matter. Activities and crafts may also be included as an interactive way for young families to experience history at the museum.
Okietales requires no registration or cost. It is a free come-and-go program with paid admission to the Oklahoma History Center Museum. Okietales are fun programs that are easy for families to join at their desired level of learning. The story time and activities are geared toward elementary school students and younger along with their families. Books and themes will be largely Oklahoma-related and connected to the state’s history.
