Summer Saturdays Drop-in Workshop: From Lincoln Logs to Hula Hoops

The Old Red Museum offers the Summer Saturdays series on the second Saturday of each month in June, July, and August. Each Summer Saturday includes discounted Museum admission, themes from Dallas County's history, guided building tours of the Old Red Courthouse, gallery scavenger hunts, crafts, and hands-on activities for kids ages 4-16.

The workshop includes early childhood favorites such as marbles, dominoes, Toss Across, Lincoln Logs, and Spirograph return as visitors learn about the various toys that entertained children over the years. Kids will enjoy participating in a hula hoop contest and making their own toys like whirly gigs, button spinners, and clothespin dolls.
