Volunteers are needed and appreciated! To sign up either click here or click the button! \n \nFirst time to visit? \n  \nHere are some frequently asked questions that may help you plan for an amazing day: \n  \nWill this be your first time attending an event at the museum? If so\, you might have a lot of questions about what is allowed at our events. Never fear! We want to ensure that our event is safe and fun for the whole family\, so we answered some common questions here: \n  \nWhere do I park?\nParking for History in Motion is on-site. If you are attending Sant’s Wonderland\, make sure you park in their lot next to the museum. From there you can walk to the Museum’s gate. \n  \nMay I bring in outside food or drink?\nYes! We want everyone to stay safe and hydrated\, but please leave the alcohol at home. We do not recommend bringing large coolers\, so make sure everything can fit in a purse\, bag\, or backpack. If you don’t want to carry around lots of items\, we will be selling food and water at various locations all day. \n  \nIs everything handicap or wheelchair accessible?\nWe do our best to make our events as wheelchair-friendly as possible. History in Motion will be all outside on potentially uneven or muddy terrain (depending on the weather). All activities will be on a hill a short distance from the parking area\, but we provide rides to and from this location to seniors\, expectant or new mothers\, and those with disabilities. \n  \nWhat should I bring or wear?\nAll of the History in Motion activities will be outside\, so wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are suitable for walking on dirt and grass. We recommend a hat and sunscreen\, and potentially a rain jacket or umbrella if rain is in the forecast. Don’t forget your camera for pictures and extra spending money! \n  \nCan I pay in credit?\nYou may purchase tickets at the gate with a credit card. Our gift shop and select stations also accept cards. Credit card purchases will have a small processing fee added.  Cash\, of course\, is always welcome especially in the exact amount for the gate entry and special activities! \n  \nWill there be seating at the arena?\nYes! We will have bleachers\, though seating is very limited.  You may bring a chair if you want\, but be prepared to have to carry it for long walks. \n  \nWill the demonstrations be loud?\nYes\, we simulate real gunfire and explosions\, so there will be quite a bit of noise. We will have earplugs available for purchase at the site\, but you may also wish to bring your own. Be especially aware that the noise may upset infants and young children. \n  \nAre pets allowed at the event?\nYes\, if they remain on a leash and are well behaved. We also ask that you clean up after their potty breaks\, as no one likes tracking poop! \n  \nMay I climb on the vehicles?\nNo\, unless you are at a photo station or a vehicle ride\, otherwise you may not climb on or into any vehicles. \n  \nMay I touch the display?\nPlease do not touch any displays unless you have the express permission of the living historian running the display. Much of the equipment our living historians use is original\, and thus easily 70 years old or more. Please respect the equipment and leave it available for future generations. \n  \nMay I photograph events and displays?\nYes! We love seeing your photographs of our events\, and don’t forget to tag us on Facebook! \nMay I bring a drone?\nNo.  Only drones used for the exclusive purpose of the museum are allowed.
