Just for Kids

Come Visit the Oberlin Heritage Center or schedule an Outreach Program for your family and friends.

• Historic Games - For fun old-time games to play, check out some of these. You probably already know some other historic games - kids have been playing tag, hopscotch, London Bridge, and baseball for a long time!
• Historic Crafts - Directions for how you can make the same sorts of crafts kids were making in the 1880s!
• Historic Recipes - Try a few tasty recipes from a historic cookbook.
• History of Photography Online Scavenger Hunt- See if you can search the web for answers to these questions about early photography and photo journalism.
• Windows of Oberlin Scavenger Hunt - Celebrate Oberlin's architectural treasures with a fun and family-friendly scavenger hunt around town! 
• Stories from the Past  - What kind of stories were kids reading in the 1800s? What were schoolbooks like? (We'll tell you right now that they're pretty different from Harry Potter!) Check them out here!
• Fun Links - See our page of links to find fun websites about history and discovery!  Look for the "History and Architecture for Kids" section. 
• National History Day - Information and resources about the contest kids are joining across the nation!
