The museum focuses on hands-on exhibits of all shapes and sizes to create a space for kids ages 1-12 to play and learn.

“Clean, newly updated place with many hands on activities for the kids. A fun way to spend a summer afternoon.”

“My grand children are 25, 23, 15 and 15. Over the years this Museum created many moments to interact with my grandkids. What a marvelous setting in a small community to be able to so engage with them. Whether they were five or fifteen this was a great venue.”
