EverWonder Children's Museum
Our History:
EverWonder Children's Museum was founded in January 2011 by a group of mothers who enjoyed bringing their children to other children's museums and who wanted to create a similar experience closer to home for everyone in the surrounding communities to enjoy. For the first years of its life, EverWonder Children's Museum existed as a mobile entity without a physical location. The Board of Directors and volunteers brought science and art programming to the community through the local library and various town events in an effort to fulfill their mission and create awareness of the organization. In April 2013, EverWonder Children's Museum opened a physical location called The EverWonder Experience. This small museum is packed with exciting hands-on exhibits and activities. To date, The EverWonder Experience has served over 6,000 visitors.
