Celebrate our generous exhibit sponsors with us!🎉🙌

This week, we'd like to extend a special thank you to Beacon Credit Union for sponsoring The Den, our interactive children's play and learning space! Their generous support helps us refresh and enhance the hands-on activities upstairs!

We're fortunate to be part of a community with such a strong spirit of philanthropy. Our partners help us continue improving these spaces for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for investing in educational experiences for local families and helping us create a better Museum for our community.

🤝Did you know your business or organization can be an annual exhibit sponsor?

The Museum welcomes 20,000 visitors annually. By becoming the named sponsor of an exhibit, you will strengthen your organization's name recognition, demonstrate community leadership, and support programs that benefit your colleagues, family and friends!

The team had so much fun at Lagro Good Ole Days Festival that we left Hughie to man the booth!!

He was looking for his buddies, Smiley Riley, Wavey Davey, and Mini Vinny.

After seeing Smiley Riley and Wavey Davey out on the town, and with the addition of Mini Vinny to the crew, Hughie decided it was time to be a little more social. So, he signed himself up for our Juneteenth Community Conversation this Friday!

He's hoping to see some familiar faces there, and he told us to let you know that you're invited too. Learn more here: https://www.wabashmuseum.org/events-1/juneteenth-community-conversation

Wavey Davey may have inspired Hughie to partake in some similar window antics, but after hearing about Smiley Riley's impressive community service efforts, he got a little intimidated. He's been hiding out in the Museum windows, claiming he's "supervising" preparations for our America 250 Quilt Display. We're not entirely convinced.😂

Word travels fast in Wabash! 👀 "Hughie" heard about the adventures of Smiley Riley and Wavey Davey at Lighthouse Mission of Wabash County and McScoopz Ice Cream and couldn't resist joining the party. Now the fun just got even bigger!
