FM #1371 - Update on the Children's Museum of Franklin - 02/04/25
This session of the radio show shares my conversation with the founders of the Children’s Museum of Franklin; Meg Hagen and Erin Gallagher.
Meg and Erin fill us in on their Franklin story, the idea for the museum, started as a mobile museum to help build interest and prove the concept would work. They are getting closer to opening their physical space on Cottage St (former Agway building).
- You hear the excitement mounting as the building nears completion.
- Fundraising is still important, there are many ways to provide financial support.
- There is a free mobile museum scheduled for Patriot Place on Feb 23 from 10 AM to 5 PM.
- Opportunities to volunteer will open in a few weeks.
The show notes contain links to their web page where you can view the architectural renderings of what the museum will look like as well as to contribute.
The recording runs about 38 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Meg and Erin
