Rainy days call for imagination, play, and making memories ☔️✨

One of our newest favorite additions is our hands-on dump truck area where kids can climb in, push buttons, turn it on and off, and enjoy an interactive experience they absolutely love! 🚛✨

Did you know you can also host birthday parties and special events right here at the museum? 🎉 Our play place and family-friendly spaces make the perfect setting for unforgettable celebrations filled with fun and exploration.

Today, we pause to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.

While many spend the day with family, cookouts, and celebrations, Memorial Day is first and foremost a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

Their courage, service, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

From all of us at the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History we extend our deepest gratitude to the heroes who gave their lives for our freedom and to the families who carry their memory each day. 🇺🇸

We remember. We honor. We thank you.

🐾 New Folkmanis puppets have taken over the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History Gift Shop… and we are OBSESSED. 🦖🦦🦨🦕

From giant Bigfoots and fuzzy opossums to dinosaurs, farm animals, woodland creatures, and more, these puppets are incredibly realistic, interactive, and SO much fun for kids and adults alike. They are perfect for imaginative play, storytelling, classrooms, gifts, or adding a little extra magic to museum day. ✨

These have already been a HUGE hit with visitors, and once you pick one up, it’s hard not to leave with a new furry friend. 🥹

Stop by the Museum Gift Shop and meet them for yourself! Which one would you take home first? 👀
