July at the Museum

Hello friends,

We are opening for play!

While there is still more to be done before the museum hall is complete, we just can't wait any longer for you to come and play! A big thank you to all of our Founding Members- we loved welcoming you to our soft opening weekend last month!

Open play in the exhibit hall starts July 11th with the following hours:

Thur - Sat: 9:00 - 5:00

Sun: 10:00 - 4:00

If you are as excited as we are to come and play we hope you'll consider purchasing your annual membership! We will also be welcoming walk-in admissions for a single day of play.

See you soon!

Ready, Set, Build Camp!

We kicked off the summer with Ready, Set, Build Camp! Our young builders accomplished so much, designing and building a play house that is now a permanent structure in our outdoor area! Local builder Erin Scally was our fearless leader and we are so appreciative of everything she did to make this camp possible. A big thank you as well to McCormack Building Supply who provided the lumber and supplies!

We can't wait for the rest of our camps this summer!

Then, fuel up at the free food trucks: Taco the Town, Sheba’s Kitchen, Stone Fox Farm Creamery, and more."
