In short
Mayor Dave Maughan writes that kids and families can still earn limited-edition America250 pins at the Syracuse Regional Museum through two challenges: memorizing sections of the Declaration of Independence, and a 13-item scavenger hunt. Pins are available while supplies last. As part of Heritage Days, the museum holds a ribbon-cutting for its new expansion on Saturday, June 20 at 11 AM, followed by free hands-on history activities.
