The Children’s Museum in Easton is an educational, cultural, and social learning center for children and families from all over New England and southeastern Massachusetts.  Our mission is “To inspire a life long love of learning in children.” Housed in the Old Fire Station in historic North Easton Village, Museum exhibits feature themes from the arts, sciences and humanities. We view play and hands-on experience as the keys to stimulate curiosity and motivate learning in children.

Four Easton mothers of young children seeking nearby, hands-on educational experiences founded the Museum in 1986 for their kids.  With overwhelming community approval, volunteer assistance, and donations of goods and services from area residents and businesses, the Museum opened in 1991.

A Special Place - two things strike Museum visitors: The atmosphere is homey and non-institutional and our small facility is packed with diverse, lively, and enticing exhibits.  And they see rich examples of the children’s museum ethos a passion for interactive, intense, and exciting learning

The Museum is the only children’s museum between Boston, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island.  We have created three floors of interactive exhibits and over 100 programs, classes and special events per year that allow kids to explore the world around them.  Over 37,000 people visit annually, including 100 school groups.  Schools, businesses, and cultural organizations throughout the region are all involved in promoting interactive education for children.
