You
are probably wondering what happened to the Community Children's
Museum for the last year or so.... well we spent it looking
for a space. It took a bit longer than we thought it would but
we were successful beyond our imaginations; for we not only
did we find a home but we found a community. The people in Dover
are very eager to bring in new opportunities for their families
and have welcomed us with open arms. They have provided a wide
range of support, from new board members to new ideas for ways
to fund the Museum. The town officials have helped to expedite
our renovation approvals and are doing everything they can to
make the process go smoothly. They see the benefits we will
bring to the town as well as the entire area. We are excited
at the prospects of serving the ever-increasing population of
Western Morris County and those who need and want us in Dover.
