Do-It-Yourself Activity

Explore Cornwall as a family!

For a fun DIY family activity come to the Cornwall Historical Society and pick up a copy of our Local History Activity leaflets. Created in conjunction with the current map exhibition, each leaflet includes activities that will help you explore Cornwall’s history using maps. Reading a Map encourages young people to discover what kinds of information are provided by maps, and Street Signs and Place Names emphasizes the clues about a community’s local history that often can be found in the names of street, roads and other places in the community.
