We are proud to display a poster exhibit depicting events and causes championed by indigenous peoples from around the world. The display is throughout the Exhibition Hall in Holyoke Heritage State Park Visitor Center. These posters are a part of a vast collection by Stephen Lewis. Stephen is a retired union leader. He has been collecting and exhibiting posters for the past four years, mostly at public libraries and includes the Holyoke and Lawrence Heritage State Parks. The exhibit can be enjoyed during visitor center hours of operation:  12:00 - 4:00 daily.

Local artist Lora Barrett will have a solo showing of new paintings of old Holyoke mills in the gallery at Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke. Barrett is a long time city resident and well-know educator.

The Children's Museum at Holyoke is excited to announce that we are partnering with the Highland Street Foundation for the 2023 August Adventures program. Each day, there will be one museum, zoo, nature sanctuary, or historical site in Massachusetts open for FREE! Modeled after Highland Street’s long-standing Free Fun Fridays program, August Adventures' aim is to increase the public's access to the chosen institutions across the state while welcoming new and diverse audiences through our doors. Come visit us on Thursday, August 17th, for FREE with August Adventures! Registration is not required.
