Enroll your youth in the History Exploration Camp held Monday, March 10–Friday March 14, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Two Mississippi Museums. Ready to be the next generation of leaders? Campers will dive into the dynamic world of “Democracy in Progress,” learning the ins and outs of campaigning, voting, and civic engagement. Through hands-on experiences like mock elections, behind-the-scenes museum tours, and inspiring guest speakers, campers will develop the skills and knowledge to make a positive impact on their community. Registration is seventy-five dollars for the one-week camp and includes lunch and two snacks daily. Space is limited to twenty-five campers. Register here.

At noon Wednesday, October 15, Melody Golding, author, photographer, and artist, will share personal insights and firsthand accounts from Mississippians who survived Hurricane Katrina as part of the History Is Lunch Series. Golding’s portraits capture not only the storm’s damage but also the resilience of the people forced to rebuild their lives. This program will take place in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums and will also stream live on the MDAH Facebook page and YouTube channel. For more information, call 601-576-6850 or email info@mdah.ms.gov.
