Free Family Fridays at the Old Courthouse are a great opportunity for kids to learn about St. Louis history, the westward expansion and take part in hands-on craft projects.
Sponsored by the National Park Service, Free Family Fridays are an hour-long, theme-based program that focuses on the history of St. Louis and westward expansion during the 1800s. Children get to create a craft project based on the day's theme.
