SUMMER PROGRAMS ARE LIVE!! The link to register is on our website at jameskpolk.net

Joining in for day 4 of #museumweek2025 - humans and nature, side by side!

We are participating in the Miles for Museums Summer Passport Program! Visitors can begin their journey by picking up a passport at the Matthews Heritage Museum, then collecting stamps from each of the participating museums. The program is free and runs through Labor Day.

NEXT WEEK: Our first summer program will be an outdoor painting activity! We will be drawing and painting pictures of the cabins. All supplies are provided and students can take their art home with them. Each of our summer programs is for kids ages 6-12 and costs $5/student.

Join the fun! Donate to the silent auction, or apply as vendor by July 1! Charlotte Is Creative

NEXT WEEK: Our second youth program of the summer will take place out in the garden! This program will feature a tour of the garden, a scavenger hunt, and kids will plant their own herbs to take home. Each of our summer programs are for kids ages 6-12 and costs $5/student.

Due to next week's extreme heat levels, this program will be rescheduled to July 23rd.

Our next summer youth program is....water balloon baseball! Did you know the first baseball game was played during Polk's administration? Kids will learn a little bit about the history of baseball and play a game of their own (with a water balloon twist). Link in bio to register!

We will be closed this Friday for the fourth of July but will be back open on Saturday!

Polk Fest was a ton of fun fun! We want to extend an enthusiastic thank you to everyone who came out to see us on what was definitely one of the hottest days of the year! Thank you to our donors, vendors, volunteers and members of the community! ! Photography by Mark Thornberry

It is going to be HOT this weekend! There will be no cabin tours this weekend as we want to prioritize visitor and staff safety. The museum and gift shop will be open and we have bottles of water to sell. Please stay safe, hydrated, and cool!
