The Wiregrass Museum offers a free, fun family day the first Saturday of each month. November’s day will be the 7th at 10:30am. The event runs until 2:30pm. There is no cost for the family fun and all supplies will be provided by the museum. The museum features a different project each month to keep the experience fresh for participants. It’s a great way to spend quality time with your family members. No preregistration is required to participate.

The Wiregrass Museum was founded in 1988. It was designed to improve the quality of life in the Wiregrass area through its collection of art work, exhibits, and educational programs for visitors of all ages. The museum is supported by private donors and is also funded by the City of Dothan. In addition to Family Day on the first Saturday of each month, the museum hosts a variety of events throughout the year including yoga, artist workshops, and special exhibitions.

The museum is located at 126 Museum Avenue in historic downtown Dothan, near the Dothan Civic Center. It is opened Wednesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturdays from 10am to 3pm. Monday and Tuesday hours are by appointment only. Admission to the museum is free.

The next big event for the museum will be the celebration of Youth Art Month to be held March 2016. The museum will bring public awareness of the value in art education for all children. The museum has been partnering with local schools to showcase the talent in the K-12 students in the area.
