    Picture This! Spring Break Program – Berryville

    Berryville Public Library 104 Spring St., Berryville, AR, United States

    Ready to see the world in a whole new light? The Shiloh Museum is hitting the road and bringing the magic of 19th-century science to the Berryville Public Library’s spring break camp for ages 9 to 12! What’s the buzz? We’re diving into the history of the Camera Obscura (the "dark room"). Long before smartphones and digital filters, people used simple boxes and a tiny pinhole to "capture" the world. We’ll explore how these early gadgets paved the way for the cameras we use today. The Best Part: You won’t just learn about history, you’ll build it! Every participant will create their own DIY Pinhole Camera to take home and start capturing their own Ozark adventures.

Students will explore life on a 1930s Ozark farm through hands-on activities. They will visit our 1870s general store to learn about Great Depression bartering. In the exhibit hall, students will study rural electricity and New Deal "alphabet agencies." PLEASE NOTE: Space is limited to 75 people. Please include the number of adults in your registration.
