Chortles and shouts. Racing feet. Sticky fingers. These sights and sounds might seem unexpected in standard house museum environments. But this summer the Jekyll Island Museum aims to engage the youngest members of the community in the wonders of the past.
So this July kids on Jekyll Island are having a hoot. Whether throwing atlatls, making butter, racing with barrel hoops, becoming stained glass artists, manning windmills, building bridges, searching for architectural wonders, or jumping on pony hops, they are discovering Jekyll Island’s historic district as an active learning environment.
Bring the whole gang to the beach to dance in the sand. The popular annual event, Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival, returns to the island on August 15-17, 2008. Buy your tickets early, or become a VIP for extra savings. Check out the Beach Music Festival website for more information about this year’s event.
