The Tree House: An Interactive Children’s Museum is being created in the 600 Building on Main Street. The museum will provide opportunities for children from birth to 9 years old to create, interact with others, and learn while having fun. Children can pretend to shop in a grocery store, go to the bank, experience being a contractor, try out the puppet stage, watch themselves sing on television, or make a painting to decorate with. These are a few of the “play and learn” experiences that will be available for children in the near future. If you are interested in helping with this new venture call us (Beth or Jason) and we will help you connect.
