After the concert last night with Heather Maloney and High Tea I gave the band and some audience members a late night tour of the musuem. It was quite fun!

If you would like to visit the museum please feel free to contact us to schedule a time. With school being out for the summer I have more availability to open up.

The official Guinness World Records certificate arrived today! Thank you to everyone who has believed in this dream. The support from the community and even people who live far away has been amazing. This wouldn't be possible without you.

The next step is to purchase the building so the museum can have a permanent home for years to come. If you would like to help with that you can donate online at https://www.gofundme.com/f/cambridge-natural-history-museum-needs-a-permanent-home or you can mail a check to:

It has been an exciting week!

Anderson Taylor was 9 years old when he opened his own natural history museum in Cambridge, Illinois. Now 11, Guinness World Records has officially recognized him as the world's youngest male museum curator. https://www.wqad.com/article/news/local/good-news/guinness-recognizes-cambridge-11-year-old-as-worlds-youngest-museum-curator/526-e16b4a51-db27-4805-ace5-38abcd8f956d?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WQAD
