ENGAGING CHILDREN<br />
Through our programming and exhibits,<br />
the <strong>Boulder</strong> <strong>History</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> is attracting<br />
more families than we have in the past.<br />
We continue to expand our opportunities<br />
for school children and scout groups. The<br />
number of children served by <strong>Museum</strong><br />
programs both onsite and offsite in <strong>2007</strong><br />
was more than 2600, a 28% increase over<br />
2006.<br />
In conjunction with the Tea to<br />
Tofu exhibit, we invited Girl<br />
Scouts to explore organic<br />
foods and to try new recipes<br />
cooking with tofu. They also<br />
had the opportunity to create<br />
their own blends of tea.<br />
REACHING OUT<br />
Through a grant from SCFD<br />
and the generous donation of a<br />
vehicle by the Anuta family, the<br />
<strong>Museum</strong> was able to debut a<br />
series of outreach programs,<br />
<strong>History</strong> to Go, designed to be<br />
offered in school classrooms<br />
and community meeting places.<br />
These new programs include<br />
cultural themes like the celebration of Dia de los Muertos, and living<br />
history programs that chronicle <strong>Boulder</strong>'s early history through<br />
engaging stories and historic photographs.<br />
