Throwback!!!

Back in 2014, our Community Engagement Manager, Meredith, created our now-popular Baby Storytime program and was its original host! Today, she made a special guest appearance, filling in for our current Baby Storytime host, Noelle, and sharing stories, songs, and rhymes with the newest generation of our littlest visitors.

And if you brought your baby to one of those very first Baby Storytimes in 2014…we regret to inform you that your “baby” may now be in middle school. 🫠 (Meredith, however, would like to point out that she has not aged.)

We love looking back at the programs that have grown right alongside our Museum families—and seeing how some favorites become traditions that last for years.

Have you ever attended a Baby Storytime with your child? We'd love to hear about your memories!
