WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE — Commemorate the 16th anniversary of a continuous human presence in space and learn about the greatest engineering feat in modern history – the International Space Station – during Family Day 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

Designed for children and adults of all ages, Family Day offers several interactive opportunities for all to enjoy. Visitors will be able to learn about spaceflight, living in space and rocketry through a variety of demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Preschool and primary-grade children and their families are invited to listen to space-related stories, followed by a hands-on activity.

All activities are free, and no advanced reservations are necessary. Call the Education Division at 937-255-4646 for additional information.
