History Hour at Serenity Springs

History Hours at Serenity Spring Senior Living

At Serenity Spring Senior Living, located within Scandia Village, we host History Hours exclusively for residents on the third Thursday of every month from 1:30 to 2:30 PM.

This special monthly event features rotating themed “Teaching Trunks”—interactive collections filled with artifacts, stories, and activities that bring local history to life. It’s a wonderful opportunity for residents to engage with the past, share memories, and enjoy a meaningful and enriching experience together.

History Hours is just one of the many ways we create engaging and thoughtful programming for our residents.
