Becky My daughter's class (Patterson Elem in Kennedale) got to experience the Museum on Friday with "Education in Action." It was a WONDERFUL experience for them, and as a parent and former teacher, I really appreciated all of history contained in one building. All of the primary sources were just outstanding, and I was ama...zed at the amount of original artifacts. The IMAX movie was a wonderful treat. The kids couldn't stop talking about that part of the tour. Thank you for an awesome time!
Ernestine Glossbrenner Looking forward to the exhibit on quilts. I love this museum.
