SATURDAY! In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and our shared early American heritage, the Rogers Historical Museum invites kids ages 6+ and adults to a free, interactive weaving workshop on Saturday, July 18.

This hands-on program connects participants with the historic textile traditions that helped shape early American households. Led by master spinner and weaver Eddon Boyd of the Brick Street Handspinners Club, participants will discover the rich history and basic techniques of weaving.

**While the program is free and open to the public, space is limited and advance registration is required. Registration is only necessary for participants, but parents or guardians must remain with their children for the duration of the program.

It’s Cow Appreciation Day and in recognition we are sharing a postcard of the Hereford Motel, circa 1950 (2008.6.289).

Once owned by Mr. and Mrs. L.B. Killebrew, the Hereford was advertised as having air-conditioning, vented heat, air foam mattresses, and tile baths with tub and shower combinations.

Due to the museum’s summer programs in the Key Wing Education Center, Grandma's Attic will be closed Tuesday, July 14, 2026, from 9:00-12:00.
