Another week has flown by and we are in the process of doing inventory on all 100,000 artifacts, furniture, and supplies. My team is awesome and we are 1/3rd of the way complete. Thanks to the extra hands from the DSC presentation staff we are well on our way. We also started our planetarium sky projector today. The moon and moon phases were great. The stars moved and we even have a laser pointer working. Today was a GOOD day! We have received several calls from teachers requesting lending collection items to be used in their classrooms. We are gathering the materials and are looking forward to working with all of them.As a special note: we are taking a high resolution photo of our Japanese doll "Miss Akita" for a photography show in Ohio. We are very excited that she will be highlighted with many other dolls from around the world.Talk with all of you soon.Julie

Hello everyone! We had a fantastic turn out at our first Open House on March 21 at the Children’s Museum. We have received some wonderful feedback and enjoyed meeting all of you. We are busy expanding, moving and changing our exhibits so that there will be more to see and do at the DCM. Our next Open House is schedule on April 24 for Astronomy Day! We will have our planetarium showing “Spring Skies” along with Seltzer Rockets, solar bead bracelets and more. Please join us for a fun-filled day.

Greetings! I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful spring weather preview. All of my team is hard at work getting the Children’s Museum programming, open houses and Grand Opening plans finalized. I have been over there checking things out and trying to figure out what needs to be done before our first open house. There is furniture to be moved, cases to be cleaned, exhibits to be up-dated and much more. Our theme for this first open house is “Welcome Back”. You will get to see some of the old favorites like “Champ” the Tiger, the puppets and play at the hands-on tables. We are eager to meet all of you next week on March 21 at our first open house from 11am-3pm. This will be the first time the Children’s Museum will be open to the public since last August. I hope to see you there.
