All About Mushrooms

Did you know mushrooms are part of the fungi kingdom and are not considered plants? Unlike plants which need sunlight, mushrooms are decomposers, meaning they break down other materials to make their own food. Kids ages 9+ are invited to learn more about mushrooms and nature at EcoAdventures!

July 24 – All About Mushrooms: Join Tiger Mushroom Farms and discover the world of mushrooms! Learn about different types of mushrooms and take home a starter kit to grow your own.

August 7 – Feathered Friends: Explore the science of flight and examine how different types of feathers play a part in how birds fly.

August 21 – All About Rain: Join the Licking County Soil & Water Conservation District to learn about the water cycle and how you can conserve rain water at home.

History@Home: The History of The Works

Now home to The Works, the Scheidler Machine Works was a major component of Newark’s manufacturing history. Reinhard Scheidler, a German immigrant, successfully grew his business and shaped history in the process. In celebration of our 25th anniversary, learn about the building we call home and its industrial past with our final History@Home.
