The Museum will be undergoing restorations whereby the auditorium will be unavailable August 14-October 20. As a result, the Inside History Gallery on the lower level is closed at this time. Kids visiting can still play with the toys as they have been moved to the hallway.

The Museum remains open elsewise as we preserve this historic landmark.

Questions? Please contact Michelle Podkowa at mpodkowa@wheatonparks.org. We will share updates on our social media as the renovations progress.
