Wistariahurst Museum, Sensory Friendly Sunday Funday

Come down to Wistariahurst Museum to explore local history, engage in sensory-friendly fun activities, and discover new ways to have fun! Wistariahurst Museum is delighted to welcome friends and families into our halls once a month for our Sensory Friendly Sunday Fundays! Discover the wonders of the first floor at Wistariahurst Museum and explore each captivating room, beginning with the elegant marble lobby and continuing to the enchanting music room, all while utilizing our informative guide pamphlets in English and Spanish.
