A Nonprofit Museum Serving the Adirondack Region

The North Country Children's Museum is a nonprofit organization that was formed by educators in 2012. Their mission is to create a cultural and educational center for North Country families, where kids from crawling infants up to age 12 can engage in a wide range of exhibits, programs, and more. 

This is a space for kids to become scientists, engineers, and artists, where they can build memories as they learn and play together, and where little ones can get moving with sensory and imaginative play.
