Trivia Night at the Putnam

Friday, June 26 | Civic Season Event

Help celebrate America’s 250th at the Putnam—where history comes to life!

Join us 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.

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 features a mix of questions across categories, including:

  • 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!
