The Children's Museum of Franklin began as the dream of two local moms; it's growing because of your support!

We have the incredible opportunity to open in our first location at 157 Cottage St in Franklin! At this time, we’re anticipating opening in January 2025. Needless to say, we are beyond thrilled for the progress we've made in less than a year, and for the community support and enthusiasm that helped us get here.

In this space, we are committed to building an equitable, inclusive, physically, socially and financially accessible space where families and individuals flourish through connection and exploration.

Here comes the ask – we need your support. Community driven donations are essential to get us into our first location. Every single dollar counts as we work to build out our new space and fill it with thought-provoking, connection-building, pure fun.

Whether you can give $10, $30, $100 or more, we are beyond grateful for YOU and the active role you're taking to build your community. Please share this campaign – text it to your friends and family, post it to your social media feeds, holler it to your neighbors, pass it on to your co-workers. Spread the word and ask your connections to help drive this cause.

Thousands of people have poured into our Mobile Museum events with non-stop giggles, excitement, and joy. We can't wait to open full time to the community this Fall. Thank you for your support!
