Family-focused fun with Piping Plovers!

  • Waukegan History. Museum at the Carnegie 1 North Sheridan Road Waukegan, IL, 60085 United States (map)

oin us for a fun, family-focused afternoon at the Through the Eyes of the Piping Plover exhibit! Bring the whole crew and enjoy:

  • A read-aloud of an excerpt from Raised to Be Wild, the inspiring true story of a Great Lakes piping plover.

  • Hands-on activities and crafts where kids can create their own plover-themed art and take home a conservation keepsake.

  • Mini scientist experiences that let kids step into the shoes of bird biologists—spotting camouflaged plovers, exploring migration journeys, and discovering how people are helping these endangered shorebirds.

Come explore the art, meet the birds (virtually!), and discover how reading, creativity, and nature can inspire all ages.
