Over the course of the program, MMC students have been working to design and construct the hands-on and self-directed exhibit within the Ayotte Cabin. The exhibit encourages visitors of all ages to explore, play and reflect on the enduring role of leisure in building connections and fostering creativity across generations. Visitors will gain an understanding of the difference between creative pastimes and necessary domestic tasks, discovering how creativity emerged naturally through daily life.
There will be a welcoming address by a student MC with speeches from students, faculty and friends of the program beginning at 2:15 p.m. Guests will then have the opportunity to interact with hands-on activities developed for the exhibit.
The exhibit opening will take place April 9 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Peterborough County Agricultural Heritage Building (PCAHB), located at 146 Lang Rd.
Lang Pioneer Village Museum notes that while the Peterborough County Agricultural Heritage Building is fully accessible, the Ayotte Cabin in which the new exhibit is within is not. Pictures will be taken of the interior of the cabin and interactive activities will be brought out by interpreters to show visitors who are unable to step inside the exhibit during the open season.
