Make a Difference today and help the Children's Museum of Franklin by eating at Jersey Mike's

Jersey Mike's Fundraiser

Friends,

We are thrilled to share images of exhibits that have begun to arrive at 157 Cottage Street. But, first, you can support us at Jersey Mike’s today in Franklin, Medway OR Milford! Donate $5 at Jersey Mike’s and get a FREE regular sub. 

 

Details here ->

Meg & Erin in the structure

Now that dinner is taken care of, we are over-the-moon to share photos of some incredible progress in our space. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram where we post regular updates!

First up, the photo below at left shows our climbing structure, presenting a gross motor opportunity within the space. As kids climb through, they’ll find friendly monsters painted by Erin and June Mint Designs.

The gazebo pictured is a central feature to our Imaginative Play Downtown, and offers a climbing opportunity for our littlest friends. This piece was built and donated by Woodstock Building Associates.

 

 

 

Can you guess what C.R. Schmall is building in the next photo? This work is underway now and we can’t wait to reveal the finished project later this week on socials! 

The remaining photos can be found on the Children's Museum page ->
