An Emerging Museum

As an emerging museum, it is ultimately important to carry the mission and vision throughout each activity and every project presented. During these early years as a 100% volunteer-run, 100% admission and donation-dependent public attraction, we are actively conducting fundraising activities and offering periodic special events and experiences that are special to children and families and related to our future plans!

Check out this photo gallery of the progress that has been made in our Prescott Gateway Mall "spot!" From an empty space in summer 2009, to the preparation for our kickoff event in October 2009, to three robust, rotating exhibits in 2010 - we've come a long way already. Remember, we need your help to keep developing exhibits, so please donate online, visit us for an event or sign up for our newsletter to stay updated on news, fundraising needs and fun ways to bring the spot home!
