Sweet Land of Legacy: Ice Cream Social and Art Workshop

View Event Details

It’s Independence Day! Before heading to your family cookout, stop by the museum for an afternoon of ice cream, reflection, and creativity. 

As we commemorate the 250th Anniversary of America, join us for a festive ice cream social where we’ll share memories of Fourth of July celebrations past and reflect on the traditions that shape our families and communities. Together, we’ll consider the legacy we’ve inherited—and the one we hope to leave for future generations. 

Following the ice cream social, families will participate in a hands-on art workshop, creating red, white, and blue legacy-inspired artworks that explore their roots, values, and dreams for the future.
