April is Poetry Month
The Cradle of Aviation Museum’s exhibit, Aviators, Poets, and Dreamers, asks the question, “Why do we fly?” and finds its answers in the poems and poetic writings of some of the world’s famous aviators. The exhibit will be on display from April 20 through April 28. Kids can learn about poetry and write a 'Cloud Poem' that can be taken home or added to our wall and become part of the exhibit. Free with museum admission. More Details here...
