Building Memories

Building Memories (A Midwestern Roots Lite Workshop)

Registration Opens Friday, June 11!

This two-hour on-demand workshop will be available to those who purchased Midwestern Roots access starting Saturday, August 28, and continuing through October 1.

$15 public; $10 IHS Member | $15 building kit with special instructions 

Looking back on the previous workshops, let’s put it all together and learn about building these communities and houses together. With a focus on oral histories, family photos and videos, and historic research, we’ll explore the value of model making your family or community story in a way that supports intergenerational learning and play.

Midwestern Roots Lite: From Roots to Roofs 

Are you anxiously waiting for Midwestern Roots 2022? We know we are! That is why we are launching a mini virtual conference this summer, just for you. 

The places our ancestors lived help us to tell their stories. Join us for a series of workshops to learn how to rebuild the worlds where your families lived. From urban neighborhoods to rural farms, we will help you to dive into the places and spaces where your family came from to tell a fuller story.  

Register for all four for a $10 discount and four chances to win a Midwestern Roots 2022 full conference registration. That’s a $200 value!
