Featuring award-winning long-term and changing exhibitions as well as public and school education programs, the Museum is a great place to spend the day learning about our county’s history and having fun in our hands-on exhibit spaces.

Learning Through Play

KidScape is a fully-immersive, interactive history experience where kids time travel to different periods and communities from the region’s past. Work on the farm, perform at the theater or the puppet show, teach in the school, deliver the mail, care for patients at the hospital, or fry up some burgers at the diner. There’s 3,500 square feet of fun to explore and learn while having fun.

KidScape is open Monday – Saturday, 9am-4:30pm, and closes briefly for cleaning between 12 and 12:30.
