In honor of Italian Heritage Month, local community groups and museum staff will facilitate educational activities on every floor of the museum.

Besides fun family activities, Italian Heritage Day will also feature an Italian American bazaar in the History Center's fifth floor Mueller Education Center with live entertainment and information tables run by local Italian heritage groups. Scheduled to appear on our entertainment stage are: Allegro Dance Company, I Campagnoli, Le Sorelle di Bacco, Marco Fiorante, and the San Rocco Festa Ballabe Band.
