Description
Buckle up for a fun-filled afternoon as we hit the road for the Open Archives 2024: Archives Roadtrip! This free annual event, hosted by the Cambridge Historical Commission, invites you to explore the rich history of our Cambridge, MA with the help of archivists from multiple repositories.
What's on the Itinerary?
👨‍👩‍👧 Family Fun: We’ve got scavenger hunts with prizes and unique crafting opportunities. With activities for the little ones and plenty of engaging exhibits for all ages, it’s a day of fun for the whole family.
📚 Meet the Archivists: Chat with the passionate archivists and historians who keep our city’s history alive. They’ll be on hand to answer questions, share stories, and give you a peek behind the archival curtain.
The Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters NHS will be sharing stories and photographs from Alice Longfellow's road trips across French communes and the Roman Campagna in 1910-1914!
Join us for a journey through time that’s as thrilling as a road trip, but with fewer gas station stops! We promise a drive down memory lane that’s both educational and entertaining.
Mark your calendars, pack a picnic, and let’s make history together! 🗺️🚙
