On Saturday, February 7th, stop by the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum for our “Silverado Safari.” This is a free, open-house event designed for families to explore at their own pace.

 

No need to arrive at a specific time! This hands-on children’s event invites young visitors to drop in whenever they like between 12 PM and 4 PM. Whether you stay for twenty minutes or the whole afternoon, your kids can explore the natural world just as Robert Louis Stevenson might have from his cabin on Mount St. Helena.

 

This event features tangible, preserved animal specimens native to Napa Valley, offering kids the chance to see and safely touch examples of the wildlife that once moved through the landscape Stevenson explored in his writing. Through direct interaction, children can learn how these animals lived, the roles they hold in our environment, and how people and wildlife have long shared this place.

 

Presented in partnership with the Carolyn Parr Nature Center, Silverado Safari blends local history and environmental education in a playful, accessible way that encourages curiosity, discovery and adventure!
