Parents and children were able to assemble and decorate toy airplanes while learning about the fascinating chapter of American history, which resonates closely with the Petersburg community.
"Storytime at the Memorial" takes place on the second Saturday of each month.
Next month's event will take place on Saturday, March 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and features “K9 Mattis On The Job” by Mark Tappan.
