History Mystery Fun at the Museum – in Tyler, TX!

Smith County Historical Society has a way of continuing the learning process children need through their Summer, Fall, and Winter breaks.

Fun At The Museum           

Can you find the unicycle, cell phone and cowboy hat in this photo?

Studies show that student’s achievement scores decline over summer break. This decline is referred to as Summer Learning Loss. In response to this issue, the Smith County Historical Society has developed a new, fun History Mystery hunt for kids. This learning opportunity is designed for families and groups to guide themselves through the museum. You will be solving clues and finding interesting museum pieces. Your family can spend as much time as you wish viewing and reading informational pieces.
