Community Childrens Museum

Come travel with us back in time and space to February 20th 1962 and board Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr.'s Project Mercury Spacecraft, "Friendship 7", the first United States space ship to orbit the Earth! Our replica resembles the actual Mercury capsule in size and dimensions. Children can sit in the "astronaut's couch" on board our ship and travel the Universe.

Thanks to a generous grant from Bayer Consumer Care Division, we will be upgrading the exhibit by adding a Control Center where children will be able to simulate a real mission and be the astronaut talking to the new mission control center.
