August is Family Fun Month

August is National Family Month and a time that High Pointers are enjoying time together - going on vacation, playing games, having picnics and watching movies.

We've curated a variety of fun activities for the whole family to enjoy on our website - puzzles, coloring sheets and crafts and genealogy for kids.

Another activity missing from summer is - baseball. Last year in conjunction with the opening season of the High Point Rockers, the Museum produced an exhibit "At the Old Ball Game." Watch this clip for a brief overview of it. Also on our website, a virtual exhibit Play Ball! and a blog about High Point's Industrial League and check the blog August 19 for another baseball entry.

Dine at the Ballpark

Pitchin' Kitchen is open weekly Tuesday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Enjoy ballpark favorites at your favorite ballpark! Our outdoor seating also will give you a great view of the field.

Women's Suffrage Month

This month marks 100 years since the #19thAmendment went into effect. The High Point Museum will be commemorating this month by sharing #19SuffrageStories from the Library of Congress, National Archives and the Smithsonian about the many, diverse women who fought for voting rights, long before and long after the amendment passed.The Museum also will include information related to women's suffrage in North Carolina and in High Point. So be sure to follow us on social media!

High Point COVID-19 Experience Project

#weremakinghistorytogether

As the repository for High Point history, we want to preserve pieces of this historic moment in time, so that generations from now High Pointers will understand what this period was like, and what we were feeling, thinking, seeing, and doing when everything seemed to shut-down.

In order to represent the full range of experiences in our community, we need your help. We invite you to participate in the High Point COVID-19 Experience Project by posting about how you are adapting to these times with words or photos in our Facebook group, suggesting items we should try to collect, and interviewing your family and friends. You also can can submit ideas Thank you for your help!
