John Henry

The first program for our Amazing African-American Authors month is coming up soon!

Our program was inspired by Julius Lester's retelling of a beloved folktale. This Saturday, February 2nd from 1 pm - 3 pm, you can experience the life of the mythic folk hero, John Henry, the steel-driving man.

Participants will have fun making their own trains cars and painting their own train whistles. Program is free with cost of admission but the wooden whistles cost $1.00 each.
