Who said older kids have all the fun? Not us! 😄

Sure, the littlest of littles might not be quite big enough for a full-blown summer camp, but our Museum welcomes kids of all ages!

From the Outdoor Adventurers Play Club series kicking off soon, to dedicated toddler spaces like My Great Backyard and the Pollinator Garden throughout the Museums floors, we’ve got toddler-sized opportunities for big fun.

Don’t wait for the fun to start, come play! 🌿☀️

Can you pick out soybeans as you drive past local farms? 🌱

Our exhibit fundraising committee and board members worked behind the scenes to make possible the new exhibit, “From the Farm to a Healthy Me.” Why? They know the importance of agriculture in our community and the impact of positive childhood experiences.

Now families can visit, play and learn about the journey crops take from the farm to processing to your local store.

Next time you’re driving past a field, see if you can guess: corn or soybeans? 🚜
