Slice of History: Trivia Night
Trivia Night at the Putnam
Friday, June 26 | Civic Season Event
This summer, history isn’t just something you read about, it’s something you experience.
Join us at the Putnam for Slice of History Trivia Night, a one-night-only Civic Season event bringing together trivia, free pizza, drinks, and a room full of people ready to test their knowledge.
Held between Juneteenth and July 4th, Civic Season is a nationwide movement powered by Made By Us that invites young people to connect with history and step into their role in shaping the future. And this year, it matters even more.
July 4th, 2026 marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the next chapter of our nation’s story will be written by the largest generation of young people in U.S. history.
This is your invitation to be part of it.
What to Expect
Grab your friends, form a team, and get ready for a fast-paced, high-energy trivia experience inspired by everything the Putnam has to offer.
Each round pulls from a different category:
- Putnam Picks / Local History – Explore stories from our region and the Putnam itself
- Nature & Animals – Inspired by our Hall of Mammals and Black Earth | Big River
- Geography & World Cultures – Test your knowledge of global places and traditions from our World Culture Gallery
- Science & Inventions – Think big ideas, breakthroughs, and hands-on discovery from our Science Center and Innovators Hall
- Movies & Film – A nod to our Giant Screen Theater, with questions on iconic films and moments
- American History & Pop Culture – From the founding era to today, as we build toward America’s 250th birthday
Whether you’re a history buff or just here for the pizza, you’ll fit right in!
