June’s History Hike a Family Fun Frolic
COOKEVILLE – History and fun will come together June 9 for a Family Fun Frolic at the Cookeville Depot and Cookeville History museums.
“We’re so excited to welcome area families to our fourth Family Fun Frolic,” Beth Thompson, Cookeville museums manager, said. “What could be better than getting out for some free, family fun on a warm June Saturday?”
The free activity, a fun twist on the museums’ monthly History Hikes, will be held between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Participants may begin either at the Depot, 116 W. Broad St., with old-fashioned games like checkers and cornhole or the History Museum, 40 E. Broad St., with ladder golf and lawn darts, as well as cookies and drinks. They can then stroll down Broad Street for more action: tic-tac-toe, hopscotch and ring toss.
Those completing a History Hike entry form will be entered in a prize drawing sponsored by Foglight Foodhouse.
History Hikes, presented by the City of Cookeville Department of Leisure Services’ historical arts division, are held the second Saturday of each month, April through August and in October. For more information, call the Cookeville History Museum at 520-5455 or Cookeville Depot at 528-8570.
