Visit the American Philosophical Society Museum from 12 - 3 p.m. on the second Saturday of the month this summer for free, hands-on activities geared towards families!
Create your own countryside or city and try your hand at surveying! Many tools helped surveyors accurately measure different landscapes, like the Gunter’s chain. Come see a Gunter’s chain in action and use a miniature version to measure your own landmarks. You can even discuss your mapping ideas with Charles Mason, of the Mason-Dixon Line!
Every second Saturday of the month, June through September, the APS Museum will have free educational activities for families, individuals, and all visitors to enjoy.
