The Crystal Charity Ball Presents The Children's Education Center

As a result of a generous donation from the Crystal Charity Ball, the Old Red Museum is proud to be one of the few history museums in the nation to include a hands-on education center designed specifically for our younger visitors. The Crystal Charity Ball Children’s Education Center is a unique learning center for students from pre-K to young adult and offers hands-on activities, exhibits on children in Dallas County and TEKS-based touch screens.

In addition, there are a number of “discovery carts” scattered throughout the galleries which showcase hands-on activities on such topics as architecture, pioneer life, toys and games and my Dallas. These offer opportunities for visitors to experience hands-on history about various themes in the museum.
