The Souris Valley Museum has started a new program called Little Historians.

On Saturdays, they invite families with children of 2-4 years old to come to the museum and learn different aspects of local history. Kids also get to do some thematical crafts.

"It's a fun little activity for families to come out, get out of their homes and (have fun) in a safe environment, learn together and have some family time," said museum's executive director Mark Veneziano.

Last Saturday the guests had a chance to tour the museum's old truck collection, learn about how people used to get around in the past and then children participated in a craft.

Veneziano added that while the program is designed for younger children, if families have older kids they are welcome to bring them along.

Only a limited amount of people can participate in the program at the same time due to health regulations, but there are many different themes and activities to choose from in the weeks to come.

The program is running from 10 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays in January, February and March. The full schedule of the museum's programming can be found at sourisvalleymuseum.com and on their Facebook page. To register call 306-634-5543.
