Explorers Learn Outside the Classroom!
Explorers are engaging Saturday learning programs held at the museum on the first Saturday of every month. Designed to be interactive and hands‑on, each workshop invites children to actively explore science, history, and culture through fun, inquiry‑based activities.
With workshops offered across multiple age groups, Putnam Explorers makes it easy for families with children in different grades to find meaningful, educational opportunities for everyone. Spend your Saturday learning together, there’s something to discover at every age!
