Play Date at the Depot

Come plant seeds at the historic Issaquah Depot Museum! For its March Play Date, Issaquah History Museums invites you to drop in with your children for a hands-on exploration of one of the most eagerly awaited activities of springs past - growing food! Kids and volunteers will talk about where our food comes from, and where most peoples’ food came from 100 years ago. Did your favorite food exist back then? Could you have grown part of it in your yard? Kids will plant (and bring home) a seed to grow into a bean plant. Kids will also be able to try out (with volunteer help) a centrifugal seeder.

Parents and guardians are welcome to participate or merely observe from a distance while drinking a cup of hot coffee or tea. Admission to the Depot will be free to all participants in the March Play Date.
