CHEYENNE – The Children’s Museum of Cheyenne is nearing structural completion due, in part, to a $250,000 Matching Challenge Grant received from the Hughes Charitable Foundation.
As 5R Construction builds the museum, its exhibits are being fabricated by BrownKnows Design in Duluth, Minnesota. The building and the exhibits will come together late in the spring, which will allow the museum to start serving the Cheyenne community later in the year.
The Children's Museum of Cheyenne is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with a mission to become a one-of-a-kind place in downtown Cheyenne that inspires the love of learning for kids and families through creative, hands-on experiences and play.
Drive by the corner of 17th and O’Neil to watch the museum's progress. To learn more about the Children’s Museum of Cheyenne, or to donate and help meet the matching grant, visit childrensmuseumofcheyenne.org or contact Caroline Veit at 307-421-4643.
