Spring Vacation Days

The NHA and Maria Mitchell Association are teaming up this April for an action-packed three-day offering of science and history. Children can sign up for individual days or all three!

Discover, experiment, craft, and create connections between the natural world and the people who live in it.  Explorations will start each day at the Natural Science Museum and include field trips to the Whaling Museum, NHA Historic Sites, Loines Observatory, and more!
