Museum L-A invites children of all ages to bring their mother for a multigenerational program on Saturday, May 10, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Museum L-A in the Bates Mill Complex. This free program is sponsored by Pediatric Associates of Lewiston.

Part of the program will feature stories about women's work in Lewiston and Auburn. It also will include a museum tour of machines used in the process of weaving fine cloth, as well as the shoe worker's exhibit. Both of these exhibits of tools and machines give a sense of where many local mothers worked - in the mills and shoe shops.

Mothers and their children will also work together on a little project they can take home. This will be another time to talk about women's work and how it has changed over time.

Be sure to call Museum L-A to sign up at 333-3881 and reserve your places. Space and supplies are limited.

Museum L-A is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of the Industrial Revolution and its workers in Lewiston-Auburn. The museum works to preserve the heritage of the community so that future generations can take pride in and learn from the culture that produced some of the world's finest manufactured products and created a strong community. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 35 Canal St.
