Learn about the World Wars

In 2026, the United States will celebrate its Semiquincentennial! In conjunction with our year-long history exhibition America 250, we will have pop-up activities throughout the year that relate to different aspects of our country’s development. This pop-up will also relate to our Wartime Abilene exhibition. Visitors will learn about what it was like to be on the home front during these wars and make a remembrance craft. 

America 250 pop-ups will include a handout with more information and insight into what was happening in Abilene during the same time period.

Keep watch for our Pop-Up cart in the galleries on Thursday evenings 5-8 pm with fun projects that any age visitor can enjoy! These rotating hands-on activities are carefully created by our Grace education staff to help strengthen connections to the artwork or objects currently on view.

Check our Events Calendar for upcoming dates! All activities are come & go and FREE to the public.
