SUMMARY:Children’s Hour: Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:Why wouldn’t the butterfly go to the dance? It was a moth ball.Why did the kid throw butter out the window? He wanted to see butter fly. \nBut seriously\, the docents of Maturango Museum would like to invite families and young children to our “Butterflies; Loved by Flowers and Children” program. This free event will be full of your favorite stories about butterflies\, as well as action songs\, and a fun\, child-friendly craft. We will be exploring exhibits and butterfly science at the Discovery Table. \nWe will have a butterfly backdrop set up so families can take colorful photos. \nMore information about Children’s Hour can be found on www.Maturango.org or by calling 760-375-6900. \n“If you smile when you see a butterfly\, you have happiness in your soul.”-Diane Cooper

SUMMARY:Member Only Field Trip to Manzanar
DESCRIPTION:This is a MEMBER ONLY FIELD TRIP! \nIf you are interested in going on this field trip and you are not a current member of the Maturango\nMuseum\, you will need to become a member prior to signing up for the field trip. Go to\nmaturango.org/become-a-member-2/ This is a Maturango Museum Member-Only Event so there is no\nfee for this field trip\, however\, donations are appreciated.\nManzanar was one of 10 War Relocation Centers where the US Government incarcerated Japanese\nAmerican citizens and Japanese immigrants who were ineligible for citizenship during World War II. Most\nof the internees were from the Los Angeles area\, Terminal Island\, and the San Fernando Valley. Others\ncame from the San Joaquin Valley and Bainbridge Island Washington; the latter transferred to Minidoka in\n1943.\nWe will be visiting the Visitor’s Center\, Block 14\, and then take the Auto Tour\, stopping along the way to\nvisit the various exhibits including Merritt Park and the Cemetery & Monument. What makes this trip\nunique is that I have arranged for a 30-minute Q&A with one of the Rangers during our time at Manzanar.\nNote: Parking can be limited on the Auto Tour so at the Manzanar site carpooling is encouraged. \nOur journey will start at the Maturango Museum and arrange carpools (if people want to carpool) and\nultimately head north on 395 to the Owens Valley trying to stay together as much as possible without\nannoying others on the road. We’ll stop at the Interagency Center just before Lone Pine to use the facilities\nand look around a bit (about 30 minutes). The Interagency Center has a lot of information and if you feel\nthat you need more time to peruse\, I encourage you to do that after we’ve completed our Manzanar visit.\nThe Interagency Center closes at 4:30pm\, gates close at 4:15pm.\nFrom the Interagency Center we’ll again head north on 395 to Manzanar. It is about 16 miles. We’ll park\nat the Visitor’s Center. There are many different things to see while at Manzanar and I’m expecting us to\nbe at the site for 3-4 hours\, including lunch and the Q&A Session. \nPlease note from the NPS Website: Visitor amenities are limited at Manzanar. Visitors must bring their\nown drinking water\, carry out their own trash\, and are recommended to bring personal\nhandwashing/sanitizing supplies.\nSaturday May 1\, 7:30am\, meet at the Museum for check in. Participants will be required to sign a liability\nwaiver. Car caravan will be organized and for those that want to carpool\, we’ll figure it out there.\nSign up at www.maturango.org (check website) or come to the Maturango Museum Store.\nBe sure you have enough gas (approximately 200 miles round trip)\, car and tires in good running order.\nUsual dress code for field trips applies: hat\, sunscreen\, comfortable walking shoes\, layered clothing\,\nwater\, camera. It is better to have these items and not need them\, than need them and not have them.\nWe will be walking on uneven ground to get to outdoor exhibits and gardens. Parking area also may\nhave uneven ground.\nFamilies are encouraged. No pets. Bring a picnic lunch to eat while we are at Manzanar. Water\, snacks\,\nlunch\, etc. No alcohol.
