Kelso Kids' Club

September marks the beginning of the new school year and the beginning of Kelso Kids’ Club programs for the school year. This class is for grade school age children and meets the first Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.

Youngsters explore a variety of history-related topics. Sessions are held on the Kelso House grounds and in the McCormick Heritage Room unless otherwise announced. We ask for reservations by the Wednesday before each meeting so arrangements for supplies and supervision can be made.

Call with any questions (330-673-1058) or e-mail us at curator@kelsohouse.org leaving the parent’s name, child’s name, grade in school and a contact phone number and e-mail address.

The Kelso History Club

The series of history-oriented programs for youngsters in grades five through eight emphasizes demonstrations and hands-on experiences. Topics explored in previous years include spinning yarn and weaving fabric, making pottery, people-powered hand tools and making and using pinhole cameras. Exploration of most topics requires several sessions. If you know someone who might be interested or you would like more information about the History Club, please contact the office by phone or e-mail.
