Among the activities will be hands-on crafts for kids and families, an interactive geology presentation, “Gem Rocks,” and self-guided tours of the museum galleries. Admission and all activities and programs are free during this two-hour period.

 

“Programs at the Victor Valley Museum that engage families and at the same time support educational goals and STEM concepts are among those that are made possible by the support of the Town of Apple Valley,” said Leonard Hernandez, San Bernardino County Deputy Executive Officer and interim museum director. “The active involvement of High Desert communities is very important to the future development of the Victor Valley Museum.”
