Children's Museum.....Our Vision
By establishing a Children's Museum, we seek to create an environment that will stimulate curiosity and motivate learning. Hands-on, interactive experiences nurture young minds and make learning fun! Learning by doing stimulates the imagination.
 Kids understand
and remember concepts more readily when they are actively engaged.
...for children, play is exceedingly serious...and important!
In fact, play is a way for children to learn who they are, how the world works, solve problems and to express feelings.
---Fred Rogers, as quoted in The Case for Children's Museums*   The American Association of Museum's 2006 Museum Financial Information Survey found that the median annual attendance for different types of museums in the US is as follows: •Zoo 440,502 •Science/Technology Museum 244,589 •Arboretum/Botanic Garden 106, 235 •Children's/Youth Museum 78,500 •Natural History/Anthropology 62,803 •Art Museum 59,822 •Nature Center 52,850 •General Museum 43,500 •Specialized Museum 20,000 •Historic House/Site 16,000 •History Museum 10,750
The interactive museum allows children to step back in history and experience
activities common to their ancestors.
Children are "driving" America's vacation decisions. Parents are planning trips to
include areas that will involve, interest and excite their children.
