This month’s Sound Exploration invites kids and their grownups to slow down, tune in, and explore how sound waves travel through our world. Through guided demonstrations and opportunities to try a range of instruments, participants can observe, feel, and hear the science of sound in action. Led by Sarah from Sounds with Sarah, this interactive program is suitable for children of every age along with their accompanying adults. Admission to the museum covers participation.

The program offers a full slate of living history centered around Guyandotte. It begins with an Education Day, then moves into community activities at Guyandotte Methodist Church that include breakfast, participant registration, an opening ceremony, an officers call and a formal Military Ball. Military drills take place in front of VFW Post 1064, with firearm checks scheduled between officers call and lunch. Battle portrayals feature a reenactment of the Raid on Guyandotte, followed by additional post battle scenarios and open hours when camps welcome visitors. A ticketed tea for ladies is hosted at the church. Later programming features another officers call, more time for the public to visit camps and a church lunch, a memorial service outside the VFW and a scene depicting marching prisoners. The series concludes with a reenactment focused on the Federal destruction of Guyandotte, then a short segment on saving the Maddie Carroll House, before the camps close. The Maddie Carroll House is also open to the public. The schedule is subject to minor updates.
