Hey kids, ever wonder why Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina or where the city got its name? On Saturday, May 8, at 2:00p.m. the Raleigh City Museum presents Raleigh 101 for Kids! This fun educational program teaches you and your family basic Raleigh history. We will learn about our city’s flag, who our city is named for, and much more. What would a history of the “City of Oaks” be without the Oak Tree? Not only will you learn about Raleigh history but you will get your hands dirty in the past too! Create an Oak leaf bookmark that you can color and design to remind you of your visit to the museum. You will also get your very own Raleigh Past & Present Coloring Book to take home with you. This program is free and open to the public.
