Museum Presents Free Kids Programs in January

The Old Courthouse Heritage Museum presents free events for children on the first and third 
Saturday of this month. On Saturday, January 6, the museum will host Kids Crafternoon: Creating 
Cartoons. Children can follow along step by step with an instructor and learn how to draw well 
known cartoon characters.
Recommended for kids ages 5 and up, the program will take place from 1:00
p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Then, on Saturday, January 20 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, the museum will host a Kids Music Lesson: 
Bucket Drumming. Children ages 8 to 14 will be taught some basic rhythm patterns and beats by local 
music instructor, Amy Clovis. Admission is three (3) cans of pet food per child, which will be 
donated to the local animal shelter. Since spaces are limited, parents and guardians should 
pre-register for one or both these events by calling the museum at 352-341-6428. Children must be 
supervised by their accompanying adults during the entirety of each of these programs.

Families who visit may want to plan for extra time to see the permanent exhibits on local 
prehistory and pioneer history. The John Murray Davis rotating gallery will present a new exhibit 
this January entitled A Wild Joy by local artists of the group, art Oasis, all inspired by the 
natural world.
