NEA Childrens Museum
NEA Children’s Museum was founded in November of 2023 by Jordan Carlow and Kristen Amick. As a growing community, there is an increasing need for a family centered attraction. The NEA Children’s museum will be designed with local interests in mind for children to have a space to learn and play. It is not open yet, but we are looking forward to seeing this idea come to fruition!
