Special Events

    Free Sunday Program
    The May 2, 2010 Free Sunday will be in memory of Sarah Levine. Through her dedication and commitment to serve the community, Sarah Levine created the Free Sunday Program at the Mayborn Museum. Sarah believed that all children should have an opportunity to visit a place where they could laugh, play and simply call their own. This Free Sunday is dedicated to Sarah; we thank her for the legacy she has left behind and her remarkable vision for the future. There will be no charge for admission Sunday May 2, 2010.
