This April, the Des Plaines History Center is hosting another Hands-On History program for kids, “Earth Day.” All children ages 5-12 and their families are invited to attend the program on Wednesday, April 5th starting at 1:30 pm and again on Sunday, April 9th at 1:30 pm. Come learn about recycling and how to make paper, as we celebrate Earth Day!

This program is free of charge due to the generosity of our sponsors. Donations are appreciated. The Des Plaines History Center is located at 781 Pearson Street, Des Plaines IL 60016. Hands-On History is a monthly children’s program series meant to invite public participation and interaction with a broad range of historical topics per the History Center’s mission. Join us in May for our next set of Hands-on History events: “Old Fashioned Toys and Games.”
