Here’s your weekend family fun! As always, check WRAL.com’s Out & About calendar for more weekend activities.

Historic Stagville, along with Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, will host Stagville Under the Stars from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday, at the historic site in Durham. The free event focuses on the astronomy and night sky myths and legends told in African cultures along with the related stories told by scientists today. The evening includes storytelling, tours and telescopes from the planetarium. Activities can be found at the site’s Visitor’s Center, at the main site of the Bennehan-Cameron House.

Bennett Place Historic Site, also in Durham, will mark the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation with some special activities from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday. There will be special guided tours, information from a historian and more. It’s free.

Saturday is FAFSA Day, a day set aside for families to get free help with filling out financial aid forms for college. For all the details and how to take part in the day, check our earlier post from Christine Hall of CMH College Consulting

The State Capitol in Raleigh will mark the February birthdays of George Washington and an Italian sculptor who paid tribute to the first president. On Friday and Saturday, the Capitol will open an exhibit to honor the 100th birthday of Romano Vio, the artist who recreated the Washington statue that sits in the Capitol Rotunda. There will be an official unveiling of the exhibit at 9 a.m., Friday. But, for families, the event to consider is a special program called “Sculpture Alive!,” from noon to 1:30 p.m. Kids ages 4 and up can learn about the statue, make their own to take home and dress up like the statue for a photo. The event includes cake and a round of “Happy Birthday.” Registration is required. The fee is $5. To register, call or email Capitol Education Coordinator Terra Schramm, 919-715-3962 or terra.schramm@ncdcr.gov.
