StoryWalk® is a fun way for families to read together while enjoying the museum gardens. Starting March 16, our StoryWalk® will feature The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds, a story about finding your own words and sharing them with the world. The Word Collector is a great read for children ages 4-8, but all ages will enjoy the brightly colored illustrations and heartwarming story.

The museum’s donation drive will run in combination with Wake Forest University’s Pro Humanitate Days, a two-week-long event encouraging WFU alumni to serve and donate in their community.
