IT TAKES A VILLAGE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Join us in building a new place to play for the children of Central Maine
Why a New Museum?
Once upon a time there was a small, beloved children's museum in Augusta, Maine. For over 25 years, children and their families valued the Children's Discovery Museum as a fun place to play, learn, and grow together.
The museum was so loved by so many children and families that it needed to grow into something bigger and bolder, charting the path for a brighter future for this little museum and its community.
The museum team envisioned something unique and enrapturing, a place that would celebrate Central Maine, a place that would spark curiosity for tens of thousands of children and their families.
In 2018, working with Field Magnet, a professional design firm, we began chipping away at the dream of a bigger and bolder museum. We bought a new big beautiful building in Waterville and while we fill some of its spaces with engaging programs and fun events, we are fabricating the museum exhibits, renovating this big old building, and continue to raise funds.
That's where you come in. Can you help us create a much-needed space for families to gather and play in our community?
