Gingerbread Architecture: The Sweet Elements of Design

(LITTLE FALLS, MN – October 20, 2021) Love gingerbread? A fan of architecture and construction? Dream of building your own home or designing a structure? Then this class is for you!

Learn the basics of building construction and architectural design at this all-ages, family-friendly, kid-oriented workshop taught by Eric Cheever, the fun-loving Exhibits & Collections Curator for the Stearns History Museum.
