Hands-On Activities for Families

The San Dieguito Heritage Museum will continue to offer free history activities for families on Saturdays and Sundays, through June 2014.  Each weekend there will be free hands-on experiences that highlight a certain era of San Dieguito history. These activities will change monthly. The historic eras and corresponding activities may include:

• Native American period: Sand painting and acorn grinding
• Rancho Period: adobe brick making, cattle roping and soap making
• Pioneer Days: butter making, washboard clothes washing and quilt making
• Flower Growing Period: seed planting, plant identification and plant dyeing
• Surfing and Concern for Ocean Ecology: balsa mini-surfboard shaping, kelp cookie making and ocean awareness experiences
