Summer Challenge #7: Visit a Living History Museum

This week the summer challenge is to locate and experience a living history museum. This is a place where buildings, objects, and a way of life have been preserved for you to experience. You will see first hand what people wore, ate, and did for fun in another time.

“These special attractions typically feature costumed historians who bring the past to present in old-fashioned settings, examining how people lived in various stages of history. The museums are interactive and allow children to try their hand at crafts, take part in historic reenactments and tour homesteads and farms with animals.”

So much to see, explore, and discuss and we just so happen to have two right here in Central Ohio:

Slate Run Living Historical Farm

The Ohio Village at the Ohio History Connection

Check-in each week this summer for adventure ideas in your community. My hope is that each and every adventure will be different and exciting. This year I have partnered with businesses in the community to put together an epic summer bucket giveaway at the end of the 10 weeks. The bucket includes ways to Say-n-Play both at home and in Columbus this summer. You will be entered into the drawing for the bucket each time you connect and share your weekly adventure experiences using the hashtag – #saynplaythesummeraway.
