The Earlyworks Museum

Last week we went to the Early Works museum. I was thinking it might be like the McWane Center, but it was more about history than it was about science. It was so awesome! I am definitely getting a membership! It was really nice and clean. It must be fairly new because everything was in such good shape. The staff was really nice too. They have a general store that has old fashioned toys and clothes. It has an area where the kids can try on clothes and hats from what I call the "little house on the prairie" time period.

They have a riverboat situated on a fake river and a old timey covered wagon the kids can ride on.


They have a huge tree with rocking chairs all around and you sit and listen to stories. The tree has a face and a mouth that moves. It was the coolest thing! They have books and musical instruments and a train table too. They had way to many play areas to list here. They also had a place called Biscuit's Room (or something like that) that was for toddlers. They had a water table, a soft play area, grocery store, garden, treehouse, puppets, a fake barn with stuffed animals, a post office, puzzles, books, coloring books. I could go on and on. Finley loved it! We were there for about 2 hours, but I took her at a weird time so we had to leave so she could take a nap otherwise I think she would have been happy there for much longer. Her favorite thing was this gate that she could open and close. She opened it, walked through then walked back through and closed it...repeat. She literally did that for 20 minutes straight. I'm so glad we found this place. We will be regulars there I can already tell;)
