This new indoor exhibit will be open from September 16th – January 12th
The TreeHouses exhibit includes fun, hands-on ways to explore the important roles that trees play in providing homes for all sorts of wild things. Incorporating all of the senses, this popular exhibit engages forest explorers of all ages in indoor nature explorations and the ecology of sustainable harvesting of these important natural resources.
Become an environmental steward by hanging out in trees at the museum this fall and learn about the secret lives of those who live amongst the trees. Families can explore and even design and build their own treehouse, stomp on the forest dance floor to listen and discover the sounds of the forest and much more.
TreeHouses is included with membership or general admission.
TreeHouses, a traveling exhibit, was produced by the Environmental Exhibit Collaborative (EcoTarium, Worcester, Massachusetts; ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, Burlington, Vermont; and the Children’s Museum of Maine, Portland, Maine) with major support from Jane’s Trust. Additional support was provided by Cabot Family Charitable Trust and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
