Beyond exhibits

More than a museum.

The museum will support birthday parties, family events, workshops, classes, traveling exhibits, school field trips, community gatherings, performances, and seasonal programs.

Birthday Parties Private celebrations with hands-on play. Family Events Welcoming space for community moments. Workshops Maker sessions, classes, and creative labs. School Trips Field trips built around active discovery. Performances Storytelling, music, and family programs. Seasonal Programs Rotating activities that bring families back.

Build the Dream

The museum will reflect this region because this region is building it.

Businesses, educators, artists, builders, robotics teams, and families can all help shape exhibits and programs that feel true to Delta County and surrounding areas.
