Become a Junior Ranger!

Being a Junior Ranger is a special privilege and honor. Take a trip back to "yesterday," search the Lincoln neighborhood, color a train, learn about the underground railroad, and write about what it would be like to travel down the Mississippi River on a flatboat. These are just a few of the activities young visitors ages 4 to 12 may complete in our free booklet to become a Junior Ranger.
