About the event

Every family has stories waiting to be discovered! Join us for an intergenerational program where kids, parents, grandparents, and caregivers explore the stories that shape our lives and communities.

Drop in and explore a variety of interactive stations designed to spark conversation and creativity. Families can use conversation prompts to interview one another, examine historical photographs and archival materials from Durham families of the past, create maps of their homes or neighborhoods, and write stories inspired by what they discover.

Through memories, maps, and imagination, participants will “unearth” the stories that connect generations and bring our community’s history to life.
