Stories and science met with our latest Summer Performer, Science Heroes! We dug into the science of how the world works with a combination of interactive storytelling and STEM experiments, leaving kids enthralled while they learned something new.

The Quilting Sisters Guild of Leesburg gave kids some hands-on sewing experience during Sew & Go! Kids learned the basics and used a sewing machine to create a flower pot cozy to take home. Great job, everyone!

🦅 Our Wings of Liberty program soared! 🦅

What an incredible afternoon with the Avian Reconditioning Center (ARC)! Attendees had the rare opportunity to meet four amazing birds of prey, including Max the Bald Eagle, and learn about the important role raptors play in our ecosystem. From examining feathers and talons to discovering the biology, behavior, and conservation needs of these remarkable birds, there was something fascinating for everyone.

A special thank you to ARC for sharing their knowledge and passion for wildlife rehabilitation and conservation. We also thank everyone who joined us for this memorable America250 program celebrating our nation's heritage and natural treasures. 🗽
