Museum Experience Center

Our Mission is to leverage this unique historic place that inspires curiosity and fosters learning for everyone.

Our vision is to expand the boundaries of our historical and natural resources by exploring, celebrating, and improving the human experience. Through a heart for the past, a head for the present, and an eye to the future, our doors are always open to a diversity of voices and limitless experiences.
