The Old State House Museum has many activities for kids. The Wilderness gallery is pretty cool. Grandmother's Cottage is a hands-on area where you can play with fun items from almost a century ago. Our 1836 House of Representatives is 150 years old and has a video presentation of the famous events that occurred there. Also check out the state-of-the-art interactive-DVD kiosks throughout the museum. You might even want to show your parents how to work them. As for our Web site:
