Magic Tree House™
November 19, 2011 – September 9, 2012
Climb the ladder to adventure with The Magic House’s latest traveling exhibit Magic Tree House™. Based on the best-selling children’s book series written by Mary Pope Osborne and published by Random House, this novel exhibit allows visitors to branch out through history via a magical, time-traveling tree house. Join Jack and Annie, two ordinary siblings from Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, as they are whisked away in time to experience three important periods in American history including a visit to Plymouth Bay at the time of the first Thanksgiving, a trip to a field hospital to help Clara Barton during the time of the Civil War, and a visit to a one-room school house to experience life as a pioneer.
Children choose their own adventure by selecting from three passageways inside the tree house, each leading them on an exciting, historical journey back in time. Let the adventure begin!
The Magic Tree House Exhibit was made possible by the generous support of the Crawford Taylor Foundation.
