Meet the WayFinders
At WayFinders, children use their senses to follow clues from the natural world—just like the five historical WayFinders they’ll meet in the exhibition. These WayFinders read the stars, the landscape, and their surroundings to guide themselves and others. Children can try these same methods for themselves.
