Diamond Bar – 5th and 6th Grade students at Armstrong Elementary invite the public to their annual “Living Museum of Historical People,” featuring performances reviving famous scientists, inventors, presidents and other historical figures in honor of Presidents’ Day.

The “Museum” will include student-created murals and science boards, which will encourage visitors to press buttons – at which point students will pop up and recreate a scene from American history.

The Armstrong Elementary “Living Museum” showcases a variety of subjects which are consistent with the Common Core State Standards of learning. Many exhibits will be on display, including a focus on the American Revolution, featuring such historical figures as Paul Revere, Mary Draper, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.

The event will be held on Thurs., Jan. 29, with performances at 8:30, 9:45 and 11 a.m., and 1:30 and 5:30 p.m.  Performances last approximately one hour.  Armstrong Elementary is located at 22750 Beaverhead Drive, in Diamond Bar.

This event is open to the public, and visitors must check in at the office before coming to the museum.
