Global Tales and Traditions

Presented by the Surratt House Museum

Let’s take a trip around the world! Celebrate cultures and people from across the globe by exploring a variety of traditions and how they are preserved. Each month will feature a different heritage community, children’s book, and applicable craft.

In September, the focus will be on Hispanic heritage with a reading of "Mango, Abuela, and Me" by Meg Medina with illustrations by Angela Dominquez. The craft will be "papel picado" banners.

This event is FREE, and walk-ins are welcome, but registration is recommended. 

This program can accommodate up to 30 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
