03.26.20 Covid-19 Update

​We wanted to touch base with everyone as we are less than a week out from our usual opening for the season. Sadly due to COVID-19, the museum will be closed until further notice. We will follow the guidelines of local, state, and federal officials to determine when to reopen. 

Don't fret! We have been putting together lots of great digital content for you to check out while we're closed. Thanks for sticking with us during this difficult time. We can't wait to see you and your family back on the carousel!

-Megan Hahin, Executive Director
