Tomorrow is the last day the Jackson Hole Children’s Museum will be at174 N. King Street. After Friday, the Museum will be closed until June 9thwhen the Museum re-opens on North Jean Street in the eastern annex buildings of the Jackson Elementary campus. One building will be used as a museum, and the other as a classroom and office space.
The Teton County School District Board of Trustees approved the lease of the two modular buildings as a temporary home for the museum for the next year or two until a permanent home can be found. In celebration of the anticipated move, the museum staff is offering free admission extended hours from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm Friday in order to celebrate the impending move.
The celebration also will include raffles every hour, including “never-seen-before” Abby Paffrath 2019 Touch-A-Truck hats. Touch-A-Truck, the Museum’s largest fundraiser, will be held the same day the museum reopens. Children’s Museum
Executive Director Jean Lewis says the King Street location was critical to the museum’s start-up, and success over the past eight years. The museum lost the lease from the town of Jackson as the town prepares to redevelop the property for workforce housing.
