Amazing Egg Hunt

I hope you all were able to make it out to the Square for our Seusstastical egg hunt on Saturday! There was a ton of fun, new faces!

Here are some pictures if you missed out on the fun:

Dr. Seuss Egg-spired Easter Egg Hunt

Just when you thought he was gone--the Cat in the Hat returns!

The Cat in the Hat has returned to the Square to take over our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Stop by Saturday, March 22 at 10 am to join the hunt (keep your eye out for our extra special purple and crystal eggs) and get your picture taken with the Cat (don't forget your camera!). There is sure to be plenty of prizes and fun for everyone!

But the fun doesn't stop there, before you leave home be sure to grab your most fantastical hat to wear for our Cat in the Hat Easter Hat Contest! Once the contest is over, be sure to stick around to relax and listen to a book reading by the Cat!

All of this fun is included in regular admission into the museum. No reservations required!

Can't wait to see you there!

Green Eggs and Ham - Update

Apparently, there are plenty of folks who would eat them with a fox, in a box, on a train, and in the rain!

Because seats are filling up fast, we have added an extra seating for our Green Eggs and Ham Cookout. You can now enjoy this delicious meal at 11:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 1:00 pm.

Call the museum today at (434)-845-1888! Don't miss out on this Lynchburg first!

Also, look for your resident book worm (that's me!) on WDBJ 7 this week, talking about the program. Bob Grebe and I also take a trip to Academy Cafe to watch Susan prepare some green eggs. Don't miss it!

Toddler Tales

Every Tuesday at 1 pm, museum visitors aged five and under (and their parents, grandparents, cousins, babysitters, nannies, and caregivers!) gather in The Big Red Barn exhibition for Toddler Tales. For the rest of March, we'll be focusing on the beloved Dr. Seuss and in April, we'll be reading the work of Eric Carle, another preschool favorite.


For 30 minutes, we have a grand old time reading stories, singing songs, doing movement activities, working on craft projects, and more while building pre-reading skills! We have a great group of regulars but there's always room for more!

Toddler Tales is always free with the cost of regular admission!

Horton Hears a Who or The Sneetches. “They’re both phenomenal!”

Why read Dr. Seuss?
“What’s really great is that adults can read his book for the pure enjoyment of his creativity and children can benefit from the rhyming of nonsense words and pure imagination of it all. His books are amazing and so great for pre-or-beginning readers!”

You can check out more about Dr. Seuss and other important reading initiatives at the National Endowment for the Art.

What Dr. Seuss event is going to rock the fox out of his socks this month?
