Homeschool Wednesdays10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Our Homeschool Wednesdays are the perfect way to make learning medieval history engaging and fun! Go deeper. Explore the Higgins Armory's extensive collection of arms and armor from around the world through programs designed to compliment home based learning for ages 5 and up.
Participants enjoy discounted admission to the museum, an auditorium show, story time, and a workshop. There is no need to pre-register for these programs.
Arms and Armor Shows
Why armor? Who wore it, who made it, and why are there so many different types? In this interactive program, discover the history of armor, from its evolution from mail to plate armor to its disappearance (and modern reappearance on the battlefield). Volunteers from the audience will have opportunities to help with the demonstration.
Show Times: 11am, 1pm & 2pm
Story Time
From damsels in distress to mighty dragons, join us as we share tales of adventure in our medieval Great Hall.
Time: 12pm
