Night in the Museum is an overnight experience designed for scouts, schools and other youth groups of up to 80 participants. With only a map and a tattered journal at their side, young historians will travel back in time and take part in a mysterious, candlelit adventure through the 1830s.

Back at our hands-on learning laboratory, we will experiment with historic crafts to learn more about 19th-century life.
