On Oct. 12, 2024, the Roanoke History and O. Winston Link Museums will host “Saturday at the Station” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The signature fall event incorporates kids crafts, a scavenger hunt, seasonal photo op with the caboose, story time, and discounted museum admission.
Create your own seasonal craft of fall friendly pinecone owls, spooky pinecone spiders, and beaded pumpkin pinecones. Stay for a spooky story time, and snag a seasonal photo – both on O. Winston Link’s caboose behind the museum. Complete the scavenger hunt throughout the museum to receive a bag full of treats. Admission for both adults and kids is $3 between 11am and 2pm. No reservations are required.
The museums’ newest exhibition, Maybe Smith’s Imaginarium , will also be available to view. Radford artists L.S. King and Ken Smith created a photogravure, “fauxgerreotype,” tonalist landscape and ephemera based exhibition that focuses on an historical ‘whodunit’ mystery that transports visitors to 1882 Roanoke.
